Tony Silver - "DLL" - (5:43)
129 BPM Joton - "Green Mind" - (4:32) 135 BPM
Review: In the headlong rush to appropriate 90s techno narratives, the legacy of the broken beat sound has been largely forgotten. While Sahko and Tresor are considered fair game, it seems that Downwards and Oscar Mulero appear to be off limits. Slowly however, the situation is changing, as Perc's releases and now this split EP demonstrate. Tony Silver's "DL" delivers everything that this sound should -pummelling drums, jarring riffs and the kind bowel-quaking broken beats that would wake demons. Joton's "Green Mind" is of a similar persuasion, based on merciless drums and beats, but the end result is less claustrophobic and not as dense - like Regis but without the paranoia.
