Plural / Hakim Murphy – Split EP [AE202]

hipodrome, , , , Leave a comment

The second imprint of Another Earth is upon us and this time it’s all about proper Detroit techno combined with distorted left wing machine house. The label combines 2 acts together in a Split EP series which compliment each others sound. For the A-side Plural created 2 essential Detroit techno tracks. The A1 is a warm uplifting peak time bomb and the A2 has a darker vibe concentrated on the groove. The B-side hosts 2 tracks from the intriguing mind of Hakim Murphy. The B1 is a heavy distorted peak time house banger while the B2 is quite the opposite, deep and obscure.

Cover art - Plural: Part 5 - Inversions

“Inversions” is the second release by Plural on Separate Skills Recordings. The new release by Dayton’s mastermind James Johnson is a clear statement to follow up with four powerful dance-floor oriented tracks. Again made up of driven metallic chords, Dub and Detroit Techno elements in the vein of the last release.

IN DARKNESS (LTD TO 300 VINYL ONLY)

New project by up and coming house producer James Johnson for more techno orientated tracks. “In Darkness” comes with true spirit and four hypnotic techno tracks. From the first song on Plural lets you notice the influences he has in early Dubtechno and vibrations from Detroit.
