Review: The eighth instalment of Less Is More sees Jonas Kopp continue to tease out the minimal aesthetic. Spread across 10 untitled tracks, it starts with the reduced rhythm of "LIM8_B1" - Kopp's own take on minimal house. In contrast, "B2" is an ominous, cavernous track, powered by a dense cacophony of abstract sound. "B3" and "B4" both gravitate towards the dance floor, led by a clanging bass and steely percussion respectively. In keeping with the series' overall approach however, each piece features an abstract dimension. This is the case on the"B8", "B9" and "B10" salvo - where Kopp delivers reduced club rhythms soaked in atmospheric textures.
Review: Featuring music from across the Americas, the latest compilation on Modularz sees household names line up alongside newer talent. Veteran producers Developer and Jeremy Caulfield both deliver understated interpretations of modern minimalism, led by subtle, snaking grooves. Remaining in that field, Juan Trujillo's "Massive Flood" serves up a more layered, dystopian sound, while Jonas Kopp's "Tremsixxed" leads the compilation into a loop techno direction, powered by dusty drums. This is also a collection of extremes: The Ripped's abrasive industrial techno on "Self Aware Image" represents the most intense iteration of the Modularz sound, while at the other end of the spectrum is Uun's wonderfully esoteric electro, "Book Of Miracles".
