Review

Here's some real techno history. FBK originally released his debut EP on Anthony Shakir's Frictional back in 1997, but despite the passage of over two decades, it still sounds fresh. Knobs moves in style between the raw, analogue rhythms of "Feedback" and "Rolling on a 6/4" - the latter is reminiscent of Shakir himself, thanks to its panning effects and subtle tonal shifts - to the deeper, high-paced techno soul of "Reservations & Misgivings". Meanwhile, "The Tet Offensive" sees FBK veer into a reverb-heavy wormhole, accompanied by a stripped back, insistent drum track. It's a reminder of how unpredictable techno can be and offers a salutary lesson fro the new generation of electronic music producers.
