Peter Van Hoesen – North 6th [KOMISCH007]
“North 6th” sees Peter Van Hoesen opt for a somewhat different tact: eerie sound effects introduce a more laid-back, shuffling groove that crackles with intricate percussive licks and subtle drops. However, it’s the building chords that showcase a deeper side to Peter’s production skills that will turn heads and feet. “Desay Duty” deliver razor-sharp percussive shards and an insistent, throbbing groove provide the backdrop for the kind of predatory bass licks.
Objekt – Objekt #2 [OBJEKT002]
Objekt drops the tempo and ups the Techno element for a killer second release on his/her eponymous imprint. Each side is demarcated by what might be a title in the run-out groove. A-side ‘I See Sound’ feeds us through a passage of cold, ricocheting delays and skittering dub stabs before precipitating Hood-esque hi-hats and propulsive kicks shackled to haughty snares. With adroit EQ’ing the track continues to wink and tease until a fully fledged final Chicago jack-out. B-side, ‘Where I See Numbers’ swings in that teched-out Untold style, but with a more wide-open Berlin atmosphere.
