Cassegrain At Juno Download

Review: Alex Tsiridis and Huseyin Evirgren are Cassegrain, and the duo's third missive comes through Max_M's M_Rec LTD, with their Painter-Palette EP. "Painter Of Modern Life" promotes a lightly trickled bassline, sparking industrial statics, juggled around Sandwell District styled blips. Ed Davenport steps up for what could be his finest work to date, dubbing down Cassegrain's original to deeper cut of underground techno - Davenport's trademark bottom end ensuring maximum club efficiency. On the (digital) flip Cassegrain present their most peak-time production yet with "Palette" - a devilish track, harbouring the muscle to satisfy DJ sets from Len Faki and Chris Liebing.

Review: British/Greek and Berlin/Vienna duo Alex Tsiridis and Huseyin Evirgren helm the 30th release on Prologue and approach such a landmark with the requisite reverence, offering up a bumper helping of Cassegrain material. Tiamat sees the pair explore the Babylonian mythology of an ocean dwelling, chaos monster across six tracks with the resultant dubby, diluted sound design a cultivated step forward from Cassegrain's previous works. This release highlights Cassegrain's ability to embed rich and experimental sonics within a techno-functional framework and cultured ears will pick out subtle influences from fellow Prologue artists Cio D'Or and Mike Parker at points throughout. We'd have to agree with the label in their summation Tiamet is some of the best techno they've heard so far.
