Amaranthine Labyrinth EP
Kinski - (5:42) 123 BPM
Review: Having made his name on a steady diet of soulful, handmade house music with a focus on expressive keys, Gavin Sutherland now heads to the Delsin-affiliated Purple Maze and it's safe to say he's broadened his remit. EP opener "Eyes On The Prize" is instantly quicker than previous FF releases, and channels a mess of disco licks into a wonderful mulch with a psychedelic bent. Strangely the beat feels largely indebted to Detroit as it furiously snaps away, which strangely echoes in the troubled filtrations of "NTNLNC". It's as if the Motor City love for nagging disco loops against breakneck techno got slowed down and smacked out. "Kinski" likewise plies an unusual trade in skipping drum machine groove and starry-eyed synth touches.

Modern Slaves Of Contemporary Contexts EP
ABCM - (8:52) 120 BPM
Review: The somewhat shadowy Purple Maze imprint delivers some more techno-rooted experimentation from Yor, highlighting a particularly engaging and adventurous sound that plays off the hybrid rhythms of these times and offsets them with displaced sonic debris and a wilful avoidance of any dominant groove. As such you find yourself marvelling at the interlocking rhythms and textures rather than the simple pleasure of a strong beat, as dark and malevolent industrialisms contort themselves in your ear. "Dystopia" is perhaps the clearest distillation of the ethics that Yor applies to his music; a glorious melting pot of bouncing hats, off beat tom thuds and ill-defined synth lines. Highly recommended.
