The last couple of decades have seen Church emerge as one of the underground's most interesting sound designers, groove makers and synth wizards. From melodic soundscapes to industrial techno under
a range of aliases, he can do it all, and often with a deep thinking perspective that adds real depth to the music.
Barr, meanwhile, last appeared on the label when remixing back in June. He has also landed on Krankbrother and Nofitstate, runs his own Portable Minds imprint, and is also a close member of Sasha’s Last Night on Earth family. His hardware-centric sound is always rugged and real.
Church’s opener 'Splitting' is a scintillating and luxurious techno track with an angelic vocal drifting like a cloud amongst silvery harmonies and melodies. A driving bassline powers along the groove
and ensures you're lost in a reverie.
Jody then offers up 'Collusion', a darker track with acid gurgles underpinning the icy hi hats. It's deep techno for the dead of the night and is hugely atmospheric.
'Dissociated Process' is the second Church original and another exquisite showcase of his ability to pair heavy grooves with delicate and majestic synth craft. The rubbery drums provide the rhythm
while the keys and deft melodies drift past up top with a real sense of beauty.
Last but not least, our feature premiere - Barr's 'Under the Rain' - rides on an expansive and cosmic broken beat groove with plenty of astral pads and starry synths unfolding in the wide open skies above.
These are four well crafted, high class melodic techno tracks that brim with futurism.
