Review: Following up a great release on Russian imprint Private Persons, Florian Kupfer returns to L.I.E.S. - a label that he has fast become a staple of in recent years. Beginning with the sublime opener "Conact" featuring the man from Wiesbaden's signature tape saturated rhythms balanced out by those evocative piano sounds. Then there's the EP's standout moment in the form of "Random Chaos" which is a slow burning techno jam by way of EBM with its gnarly arpeggio business and metallic jack. Finally, the rhythmic DJ tool "Z" features some powerful tom drum action that reaches near Japanese Taiko moments. Unless you were sleeping under a rock back in 2015, you most likely heard the buzz around Kupfer's S.A.D. Edits which featured some well executed resplices of certain classics by British songstress Sade. From there, his original productions appeared on a who's who of it labels such as W.T. Records, Technicolour and Russian Torrent Versions.
