Up first is 'Xure', an arp-driven slab of mind-tickling electronics that slowly builds its way to a sterling peak-time climax, after which the distorted 'Xero' highlights the dirtier and grittier side of things with a raw LFO-esque synth meandering through a sonic groove. Closing track 'Xite' captures the spiraling vibes of off-beat techno across hypnotic percussion bits and glistening sounds in the background, leaving very little to wish for.
On the remix tip, one of techno's men-of-the-moment Tripeo (aka Darko Esser) delivers a beefy rework of 'Xure'. Tying an arped synth to a potent groove, this little monster will definitely do the business in the clubs...
This third EP in FORMAT Records' catalogue is sure to capture the likes of quality-craving techno fans.
