VA – Tales From The Dark Side EP Volume II [KW020]

This is the second episode of our Various Artists serie. The Fallen (a collaboration between Plural (James Johnson) and FBK (Kevin Kennedy)) opens the E.P. with Interference, a fast paced killer hypnotic dance floor friendly dub track: they create a sound that is unique, fluid and extremely danceable. Philippe Petit follows with Exposed, a stripped down, bleepy bass-heavy rhythmic piece of techno. Julixo brings us Own Structure, an aggressive jackin techno track leading to a warm synth line that will leave nobody indifferent. Terrence Dixon closes the E.P. with Odd Numbers, a track that only him can do. Sub bass melodic techno reduced to the max.

Philippe Petit – Figure SPC U [FIGSPCU]

Philippe Petit is welcomed to Figure SPC with this dextrous and inventive four-track EP. Ranging from the Euro-beat infusions of ‘Body’, with its menacing electronic palpitations, to the stuttering syncopations of ‘The Truth’, the bouncing, addictive tooly vibe of ‘Lost Again’, or finally the tracky, introspective chord-journey of ‘In Between’, its a varied and versatile EP from the hard working activist.

Scrape starts with a slow minimalistic acid bomb tones aimed to burn the dancefloor. Side B continues with Meltdown, a dub track where the chords slowly progress to their peaks, underlined by a heavy kickdrum. The E.P. finishes with Flotation, keeping  its core minimalistic concept, full of sub bass and high treble, reminiscing of early Hood or Mills.

Philippe Petit – Give / Take [DMT001]

https://i0.wp.com/images.junostatic.com/300/CS486034-01A-MED.jpg

The idea behind Decision Making Theory is to propose some stripped down no-nonsense techno, aimed directly at the dancefloor. DMT’s first one-sided 33 rpm colored vinyl release consists of two tracks by Knotweed Records owner Philippe Petit. ‘Give’ starts with some spaced-out chords and then shifts into a dubby Detroit inspired floor filler. The second track, ‘Take’, is a much darker heavy peak-time affair aimed at blowing the roof off!

Philippe Petit – Rain In The Valley EP [KW001]

Knotweed Records is a new label launched by Belgian DJ and producer Philippe Petit. As Philippe is composing music mainly when the weather grounds him at home, the dark atmosphere of the steep-sided mountain environment can be felt in all tracks of this release. The sound is techno at its best, Detroit influenced, hypnotic, dubby, but always with a funk element incorporated in the tracks.
