George Lanham At Juno Download

Review: Establishing a new techno label is no easy thing, but on the strength of Pareto Park's first release from label head George Lanham they should have no trouble making their voice heard. Opener "Ridley Road" comes on with an almost geometric precision, a series of siren-like synths riffing off against thundering kicks. "Cambridge Offensive" meanwhile has all the industrial savagery and subtleties of Perc's finest, with crushing beats and corrugated iron stabs. Perc Trax's Dead Sound proves an inspired choice to remix the track suspending the rhythms in a mid-air stasis whilst driving forward with ruthless momentum. Minimum Syndicat's remix of "Ridley Road" meanwhile combines Skudge's brand of hypnotic looping and house sensibilities before losing its mind with a brain melting arpeggio at its climax. Highly recommended.
