Convective Deep Techno currents from Arthur Oskan, backed with a Luke Hess remix. On the original ‘Wants & Needs’ Arthur seduces with melancholy, dark-eyed synth pads and a purring bassline, stealthily evolving into a real midnight groover. On the flip, Luke Hess reduces the elements to a shook-down Dub Tech-House roller with strong Detroit genes.
Second release on iS Records. The A-side, The Future Never Was combines sparse beats and pads held together by a growling stuttered bass, which gives the track an industrial feel but on a techno/house tip. On the flip, Fake The Feeling, draws on sounds beyond the current trend for vintage analogue in an original take on the house blueprint. The B2 track Out of Orbit is 4 minutes 48 seconds of Tech soul, for the floor or the headphones.
Surprising release from John Daly on Further Records. A side is a aquatic analogue ambient piece (the Haze mix). Main track/mix is on the b-side which is a stunning and epic techno track with intense strings and lovely fragile melodies on top.
