Underground Grooves EP Vol 01

return_backspace is excited beyond measure to present to the world the music of a young marco repettoconceived during the heydays of atari-sequencing, under his beloved moniker planet love, the bern-residing, italian producer at long last will disclose some of his earliest compositionsin nine tracks - spanning three extended plays - the headstrong musician demonstrates ingenuity once again; amalgamating otherworldly soundwaves and advanced production technique into a one-off kind of seminal technonew era e.p. makes the initial part in the triptych, and unfolds through its title track; an extraterrestrial soundscape sculptured autumn ’92, heavily reverberating repetto's profound fascination for 1950s science fictionflowers was recorded during the last days of ‘90, and is one the earliest experiments conceived under the alias. the track is a well balanced blend of measured psychedelic, and grand lushness, with vigour that has zero decayed. supremely effective at the end of a long night’s rave bird song is early ‘92 in full effect, and might just contain one of the catchiest bass-lines known to mankind. topped off with luxuriant pads, sweet samples, and irresistible bleep, repetto truly outdid himself on this one; romantic techno rarely gets more soulfulthree decades after their initial recording to digital audio tape, the natural naivety within each of these productions still is extremely tactile; reminiscent of a time when electronic music was in its infancy

The tracks on this record were originally produced in 1993 and 1994 by Julius Weiland. Before becoming a visual artist he released house and ambient tracks under the name „Julius“ and other aliases. Deeply influenced by early Chicago House and Detroit Techno he developed his own style and sound. This is his second release on No Acting Vibes and it‘s bringing back some of his sought after tracks on vinyl again.(All tracks produced by Julius Weiland, Basic Paradise“ coproduced by Tom Gawlik“.)

TwoStep2 aka DJ Relay and Jo Public have been known for their superlative but distinctly old skool sounds, but lead track on this three cut 12" is rather a subtle departure. The beat is a little more wonderfully wonky than you might expect and the bassline bigger and more adventurous, with pleasingly original results. 'Starlight' plays off its abrasive backspins with fluttering harps that are more Luke Vibert than Sticky or Noodles, true genius, and a bubbling beat to boot. 'Weapon of Choice' plunders ravier elements but again, it's no museum piece with its off kilter piano and slowed down, drowsy atmospherics. If you're looking for memorable tunes that stick out rather than fit in, make this your destination.
