Makeless - (6:04) 111 BPM
Review: Sascha Borchardt has almost exclusively put out music by his Monoloc project on CLR, but he recently released an EP on Soma. Now the German producer continues his move into the mainstream with a release on Scuba's Hotflush. It's an atmospheric, esoteric release and proves that Borchardt is on the cusp of crossing over. The title track and "Makeless" are downtempo tracks, full of floaty, swirling textures and throbbing low end tones. However, it's "Trysome" that really stands out. The groove is inspired by Basic Channel's scuffled dub and the falsetto vocal could be from a New Jersey house track. United by a chiming synth, they come together to make for a bizarre but brilliant track.
