Transmitting from their mist-filled, strobe-lit lair, Group Niob join the ranks of Pomelo with an EP of pure-bred, cavernous underground techno. Founded by prolific Cheap Records alumni and long-standing Pomelo contributor Gerhard Potuznik (aka G.D.Luxxe, GDX, Pin-Ups In Exile) and his hardware-obsessed partner Martin Sovinz (aka Dibek), Group Niob follow up their previous releases on their jointly run Phlox imprint with two tracks of techno perfection: ‘Nue’ starts the EP in high tension mode – grumbling bass lines, endless echoes, and a punishing groove complement the track’s subarctic atmosphere. On the flip side, ‘Target’ turns the heat up a notch with a warm, rolling bass, hypnotic chords and dubbed out stabs, dubbed out and acidified by Pomelo’s own Daniel Lodig for his EP-closing remix
