It’s obvious the writing and production have reached a new level in their exciting evolution. Now it’s time for the music to reach an audience beyond just techno and house.
Ovatow – In Loving Memory of Juvenile Jay [HCS1000]
Ovatow drops 3 extremely deep journeys into the fog of endless re-verb and delay applications. ‘Flame’ and ‘A Thought’ are 2 electro-techno tracks that are both build on randomly step-sequenced square bass lines, raiser sharp snares and dubbed out melodies drowned in layers of breathing dusty tape delays. ‘Visitation Dub III’ is a different version of an Ovatow track, earlier released as part of the ‘Viewpoints Chapter One’ compilation, but this time stripped down to the core bass line, reminiscing BC’s ‘Presence’. The release is dedicated to the loss of South Rotterdam based DJ Juvenile Jay who played an important roll in the early DJ career of Frustrated Funk’s head honcho Klen, the man behind the Ovatow moniker.

Arcanoid – Migration To Nowhere [SEMZ]
Semantica presents a smart selection of Electro, Techno and House with an IDM polish by Arcanoid. Cinematic theme ‘Time To Die’ sets the scene with a Vangelis-like flourish of synth brass, while the technoid gloom of ‘Espora’ and the grubbing Electro of ‘Force Of Gravity’ at once remind of vintage SCSI-AV and more recent Vatican Shadow moves. Flipside his grooves follow sleeker contours with the plush Electro-meets-Deep House chords of ‘Interzone’ and the rolling finesse of ‘Zero G’.
