K1 feat. Dopplereffekt – Star Gazing EP [PBX-32]
Keith Tucker and Gerald Donald of Dopplereffekt finally got together. The combination of these two musicians has created a bombardment of funk as only Keith Tucker and Dopplereffekt can bring.

The record is rounded off beautifully by Cignol with Detroit infused string sections and harmonies on his ’51D’ track.

Optic Nerve – Detropolis EP [PBX023]
The enigmatic Optic Nerve aka Keith Tucker returns with the aptly named Detropolis 12″ on Anthony “Shake” Shakir’s Puzzlebox imprint. Deep sea melodies, stabby chords and ravey basslines litter the EP which floats somewhere between shuffling techno and bubbling electro of the Detroit kind. Optic Nerve’s soothing original is a fast-paced slice of electro-techno gold, while Aux 88 up the percussive elements of Tucker’s original, escorting a plodding bassline from out back to up front. The “Detroit vocal Mental mix” sheds all but the basics and pumps up the bass, using a vocodered “Detropolis” vocal as its centrepiece. Discreet Drexciyan pads and Model 500 magic flash throughout the “M5 Central Station Mix”, closing a quintessential Detroit classic.
Optic Nerve – Three Dimensional EP [8-DIAM]
Keith Tucker is back for his second release on Diametric as Optic Nerve. Again delivering an EP full of trademark Optic Nerve funk and futurism, combining deep techno with haunting vocals and machine rhythms.

Included are the three ‘Dimension’ interludes plus the acappella version of ‘Virtual Depth Perception’.
