Review: Havantepe has a concise but impressive catalogue that now includes Calcite, his second release on Berg Audio. Taking influence from a range of sources, the EP starts with the dreamy, acid-tinged Detroit techno of "Dendrite". The title track is more in keeping with Havantepe's signature sound. Atmospheric, dubbed out chords chime seductively over an understated groove. "Silica", his collaboration with Christopher Ledger, has a similar sensibility. Ethereal textures unfold against the static hum and crackle of a rhythm that sways and shuffles majestically. Cristi Cons's version of the title track is more dance floor-focused, but even here, meditative musical elements are to the fore.
Review: An Introduction To: Luck Of Access is a compilation of six tracks by various artists, showcasing the diverse and deep sound of the new label. From label chief Andrey Pushkarev's dubby and atmospheric "Frame", to Havantepe's hypnotic and groovy "Hooting Owl", to OHM & Octal Industries' techno banger "Adaptor", Low Tape's summery and nostalgic "Summernesia", and J.S.Zeiter's classic and minimal "Scatter". This EP offers a taste of quality electronic music for different moods and moments. A promising debut for Pushkarev's new imprint.
