Ground Loop At Juno Download

Review: Like SP-X and Developer, Ground Loop provides a contemporary take on club techno. "Pine Gap" shows how techno has progressed in the area of sound design as concrete beats provide the basis for a growling bass and churning filters but also eerie textures. "South Signal" is a different proposition as Ground Loop escapes the rigours of the peak time to focus on stop-start beats and a low slung rhythm. Despite this, there is no doubt about where this EP's focus is; Advanced Human's take on the title track feature abrasive percussion and a big room filter, while Mattias Fridell's take on "South Signal" is more understated, but its tight claps and linear rhythm mean that it is a consummate functional techno track.
