Review:
Itokim proves that he is a master of deep techno composition. "Awakening" is a seductive, spaced out affair, playing on the evocative synths of Carl Craig and the warbling electronic melodies of B12 and As One as Itokim fashions a stop-start undulating rhythm. The two versions of "Tendo" see the Japanese producer focus on the dance floor, with rolling, snaking pulses and elongated, dreamy breakdowns underscoring liquid trance melodies and swirling pads. However, Itokim clearly does not want to be seen as merely another deep techno producer and on "Yin-Yang", he opts for a laid back approach, with dubby beats combined with jazzed out piano keys.
