Review: Thule Records has been doing a sterling job of reviving the niche scene of Icelandic minimal techno they started back in the 90s, and one of those names they're bringing back into focus is Cold with a new batch of appropriately chilling excursions into dub techno and minimalism. "Natures Call" actually sports an acid line coursing through the centre, but it's kept firmly within bounds amidst the slender beats and icy pads, while "Fractal Memory" fully plunges into the sub zero depths of spring reverb decays and space echo delays. "Dub Safari" is the hit here though, sporting a subtle housey groove that plays off the dubby textures perfectly.

Review: Thule's dark doppelganger AE Recordings was revived with the excellent Freyja EP by NonniMal, and now the saga continues with this devastatingly on-point release from Cold. Much like the vibe on Thule, the music on AE continues to channel the mood of the icy tundra into refined, modern club tracks, but there's definitely a more sinister intent at work in these tracks from Cold. "Aerials" is a nightmarish chugger loaded with eerie sonics, while "Phased Out" lays down some fine dubby processing over a bed of chilly chord pulses. "Exiles" is a standout track thanks to its crafty groove, coming on a little more housey than its counterparts but still heavier than the average Thule jam.
