A few months after the landing of Point A, the debut instalment in a series of 12-inch VAs blending in works from new faces and more established names, On Board Music returns this winter with Point B - a followup featuring choice slices from on-the-rise French soundscaper Diane Barbé, Madrid-based dub experimentalists Uanamani and well-known Spanish techno artist Daniel Kyo under his CORE alias.
Starting off with Diane Barbé's 'Something For The Mountains' - an eight minute piece of textural sublimation fusing strains of Easternmost traditional music and heart-raking downtempo, the disc moves on towards further dynamic, verbed-out atmospherics with Uanamani's 'Luzzu' - taking us straight to some eerily exotic place, where delayed drums and teeming layers of faux-organic luxuriance make one.
Flip sides and you'll find CORE setting the deepness'o’metre to eleven with a pair of dubbed-out rollers. Cutting a path of hypnotic devastation across the dancefloor, 'Mantra' loops you in for a truly mind-bending trip down techno's deepest depths. Beaming back the energy levels stacked up by the previous, hectic closer 'Energia' spits out fiery waves of mesmeric synth arpeggios.
