After 20 years of experience, Gary Martin couldnt resist a 12 inch that is also the 50th release for Teknotika: a label from Detroit that didnt exactly stick with the game when it switched to the mp3 format. *Basking In Blackness* is a composition of textured broken beat then classic four on the floor old school soul. *Synthotika* is what would happen if a synthasizer could take over an orchestra. A track inspired by Detroit peers no doubt. *Every Bit As Beautiful* goes sensative deep house piano, a lil Latin percussion and soaring Eno-esque synths to top it off. The title is a bit sarcastic, let us face it, there is no life after techno! Pressing on grey marbled vinyl.
