Rino Cerrone, the indomitable figurehead of Naples’ fertile techno scene, has a formidable reputation as one of the most consistent and prolific producers around.
‘Man on Moon’ is Cerrone’s seventh release for his own Unrilis imprint and it’s the sort of belligerently driving affair that has cemented his lynchpin status in worldwide techno.
Fusing guttural bottom-end and clinically executed percussion together is what Cerrone does best and that’s evident on ‘Man on Moon’ but it’s his steadfast approach to seemingly infinite tension building that is most apparent. From the distorted builds of the first half to the fever-pitch mechanics of the main drop ‘Man on Moon’ is a brutally effective piece.
