Review: DJ Nobu's label Bitta is a label for serious techno enthusiasts, dealing in sublime and subliminal sounds that are expertly crafted. This time, with four mesmerizing and energetic tracks, Konduku debuts on thelabel showing the perfect amalgamation of their signature styles. The EP features two immersive techno works by Konduku, 'Hayal' and 'Yakamoz', which blend seamlessly with Nobu's uplifting mountain-valley sound. 'Damla' is a slower and darker track with lilting rhythms and serene synths, while 'Zifir' brings edgy synth blips and brooding bass for an unsettled energy.
Review: Next up on Bitta is Mind Express boss Refracted with a release that touches on a range of different styles, all of which are united by an underlying hypnotic sensibility. The title track features haunting, layered melodies, while on "Grind You Under", a different approach prevails. Focused on frazzled synths and an undulating bass, Refracted delivers an understated version of Donato Dozzy-style techno. "The View From Cal Company?" goes deeper, with reverberating pulses and broken beats helping to steer the listener through a dense tapestry of textures. Slowing the tempo down, Refracted closes out the release with the reflective sounds of "Down Under".
