Review: Here's a release that takes a different approach to the typical techno EP. Surgeon created a series of tracks to play at the Amsterdam Dance Event last year, using a basic set-up. These results, while brutal in places, are a breath of fresh air. In particular, "Raw Trax 3" is a noisy, layered workout that unfolds against the backdrop of doubled up beats and grimy analogue tones. "Raw Trax 4" is comparably straight-forward, with a punishing kick drum pounding the listener into submission. Best of all though is "Raw Trax 2", a teased out stomper that recalls the vintage work of artists like Neil Landstrumm and Tobias Schmidt.
