Review: The latest EP on Luca Agnelli's label is called Mirth, but probably a better title would have been "euphoria". The title track, by Dutch duo Hush & Sleep, sounds inspired by 90s trance-techno, with rich, layered chords surging and building over a tough, rhythmic backing. "Hysteria" was probably inspired by similar records, but on this occasion, the pair give their sound a more contemporary flavour by using tough dub beats and a pounding rhythm. The result is not radically dissimilar to Inigo Kennedy's work for Token. The label has also commissioned two remixes; the Farrago take on the title track is a more linear affair, revolving around tough drums and doubled-up claps, while Marco Effe takes "Hysteria" down a dark, driving techno route its trance melodies absent.
