Long time scene stalwart Darren Price is stepping out on brand new label, Kilsha Music, with a fantastic EP of monster house tracks arriving on both vinyl and digital.
Opener ‘Charm Offensive’ is a fantastic ten-minute trip into loose limbed techno. Drums, bass and percussion all wrap and weave around each other and melt your mind in the process. A rasping lead synth eventually becomes the focal point as background chords bring real soul.
The brilliantly bristling ‘Everybody Jack (UW Live Maschine Mix)’ is a full fat track with busy textured synths, sci-fi effects and old school jack vocals that will really work the dance floor into a lather. It’s dynamic and ever evolving, with plenty of tense peaks and troughs throughout to keep the ‘floor on its toes.
The final vinyl track is ‘This is House Music’, a deeper cut with warm, warbling bass and a muted acid line spraying about the mix. It slowly builds the pressure in heady fashion and is one to really hypnotise.
This is a fresh EP from one of the techno scene’s most enduring and essential talents.
