Review: Through their already super-impressive run of releases, the Ansia crew have made a real name for themselves by exploring outside-the-box sound design within their projects. This latest four track Various release is a good example of that creative approach, kicking off with the stuttered, semi-industrial sounds of 'XCUSEME' from BFTT, utilizing metallic percussive twists and unusual vocal processing with wicked results. Next, Metrist explores the aquatic realms of techno with a warbling compositional exploration on 'LB Steaua', before the more classic, bubbling techy textures of 'Gran Macello Ad Ostia' from Piezo jumps into some party starting flavour with it's constantly evolving percussive involvement. Finally, things get a little more unusual as Siete Catorce unleashes a lively, electronic funk out with 'Serrano', a high tempo combination of cartoonistic sampling and drum crunches, giving the project as a whole a seriously high level finale.
Review: As one of the most exciting dance music producers to emerge out of Milan in recent times, Piezo teams up with the notoriously innovative sounds of Swamp81 for a super creative four tracker. The title track 'El Sangre' is a futuristic techy roller, focussing on unpredictable industrial percussion and spooky atmospherics to create a fascinating musical journey. Next up we have the minimized lo-fi arrangement of 'Keera' which folds into the icey percussion of 'FKN Intercom' perfectly. Finally we finish the EP up with another industrial banquet in 'Rash'. This one brings together bubbly percs and electronic leads with great results. If you are looking for labels pushing the the tech boundaries, look no further than the Swamp.
