Darko Esser’s Tripeo alias is really starting to take off and this will likely be the final 12″ before the Dutch producer’s debut album as Tripeo, Anipintiros. It’s hard not to think Frozen Border, Sandwell District, or even Prologue when listening the A-side on this record, “Untitled #9”, while on the flip there’s “Untitled #10”, a Detroit inspired jumble of strung-out leads, confused computer bleeps and flexed 909 drums.
