Nice Price Deal !!! Alessandro Bocci s first official full-length album under the M16 guise considerably fleshes out the portrait previously established on the EPs he s issued since the alias s 2004 inception (prior to M16, the Bologna-based producer was a member of Starfuckers). In its early going, lack Corner After The Beat Sessions sounds like it might shape up into a solid but well-behaved collection of artful techno, in particular when Armati opens the set promisingly with four minutes of metronomic, bass-heavy throb, and Lab 1 follows suit with an agitated broil of bottom-heavy locomotion. But a more experimental side gradually begins to declare its presence in the rippling crackle and buzzing whirrs that threaten to smother the combustible beat undercurrent pounding throughout Lab 1. Sounding perfectly at home in this context, the already-heard EP cut Agenzia 13 then works a thunderously thudding kick drum and ricocheting percussive accents into a roiling groove that grows ever more forceful until it reaches a steamrolling climax.
