DJ Support from Ben Klock (Berghain), Truncate, Dave Clarke etc... Ben Sims Theory imprint nudges closer to its closure at its 50th release but 048 proves that the label is far from over yet with heavyweight cuts coming from Paul Mac and Ritzi Lee this April
Sales Information:
Paul Mac, fresh from a well received house release on Nick Woolfson’s Teng, opens the EP with ‘Control’, a slow burning and steady groove which ebbs and flows with ethereal and distorted triplets and looped vocals, creating a tense yet heady piece of late night techno. The A2 track sees Mac take on Dutch producer Ritzi Lee’s Dettmann, DVS1 and Luke Slater hammered ‘Reverse Process’, employing similarly overdriven aesthetics to the original’s buoyant and anthemic top lines underpinned by a mountainous drum assault. On the flip Ritzi Lee serves up a pacey filtered workout entitled ‘Subway Trip’ – a neat title considering the tracks nifty manipulation of repetition and subterranean depths – while also delivering a lean and brutal version of Paul Mac’s excellent ‘Grind Returns’ which featured on Ben Sims fabric73 comp late last year.
