Various Artists

This debut release takes the form of a various-artists three-tracker.
A-side is Benedikt's "Kraft Sein," a straightforward powerfunk stomper, generous with syncopated clap trickery and pounding kicks. Through the industrial-tinted vibe, a game of filtered stabs and delayed resonances draws an enigmatic landscape.
On the flip, Jean Pierre's "Once Bitten" combines an ever-evolving and introspective synth line with the physicality of a classic bass/909 workout. A detailed architecture of hiss and white noise brings a finish to its mysterious mood.
Viktoria's "Universal" closes the EP with its enveloping pads, creating soul-soothing harmonies on top of a fluid, rattling groove. Subtle wavy breakdowns and breathing textures craft a climate of peaceful exaltation
