Mr. Beatnick – Formed In The Stance EP [DBA021]

Mr. Beatnick returns to DBA after a two year hiatus following his Synthetes Trilogy series, with a new direction and a 4 track EP which represents his most floor-focussed work to date. Opening cut Stutter is an immaculately crafted deep techno bomb which features the trademark sound familiar to fans of the London producer’s work, whilst title track Formed In The Stance and flip-side Obsidian Morning explore an eyes-down, moody, broken sound which will no doubt ring a bell for devotees of the seminal Co-Op nights.

Mr. Beatnick – Sun Goddess EP [DBA008]

Taking inspiration from classic rare groove Boogie and Detroit House, the dangerously underrated London tunesmith drops his most impressive 12″ to date. Mr. Beatnick delivers dusted Rhodes and warmest, Theo P-esque strings and bassline on ‘Sun Goddess’, beside the Kassem Mosse-gone-Balearic vibes of ‘Beneath The Reef’. Flipside he’s in a friskier mood with the tight Boogie-Tech shimmy of ‘Shifting Sands’, primed to work it from Panorama Bar to Plastic People, while ‘Savoir Faire’ tips out on classic-sounding Gallic deep disco vibe.
