Sales Information:
For the first three minutes of stretched soundscape, the percussion warms up with sparse and off-kilter hits. The track’s second half sees fierce breakbeats cut through the walls of reverb, and with that can Daniele Antezza and Giovanni Conti really show-off their unique talent at sound design. They blend a gift for rhythm and titanic production to engaging effect. Eomac begins the B-side with ‘I Am Starting To Believe’. The track’s echoing synths hang free in a spacious mid-range, intermittently making way for long chords and elusive vocal snippets. Eomac draws on the light/dark contrast and unsettling motifs that made his Monad release special, and delivers a techno epic so rich it requires repeated listens. Last but not least, Chevel; his sound is distinctive amongst the SA roster, mostly due to his acute focus on the percussive elements and intriguing take on minimalism. On ‘Alicia’, he works a groove out of tripping drums and metallic perc, all with a UK-influenced flair that lends itself to a wide range of DJs. Chevel’s track ends what may be the most varied collection of ‘Chapter V’ material yet, leaving a lasting reminder of the depth and quality of artists SA have accrued
