Review: Following a few Eps for Milan label Just This, Fabiano Valli aka Pisetzky delivers his debut album. It's a beautifully constructed, expertly pieced together release. Boasting an atmospheric undercurrent throughout, it moves from the frosty ambience of tracks like "Vahana" and "State of Consciousness" -the latter contains the odd, Hawtin-esque acid gurgle - into low tempo affairs like "Streams of Ancient Wisdom" before building into hypnotic, dubbed out grooves of "Bakwas", "Wand" and "Odalesque". Mastered by the peerless Neel, Rough Machine sees Valli borrow from a range of classic techno influences - Mike Parker, Dozzy and even early Autechre are references - but distill each source in such an artful way that makes his debut long player sounds 100% original.
