OE 02 comes from Samaan. Another clever techno release with emphasis on quality and structure and not forgetting the input from Detroit dub merchant Luke Hess. 'Terminator Reserve’ is dominated by a thick bass line, razor sharp percussion, devastating Juno stabs and with tonnes of analogue warmth coming from its abyssal depths. The Luke Hess remix provides the deep qualities of the original however its much more repetitive in its nature making it truly hypnotic and one you cannot help but get completely lost in. On the B side ‘Mediator’ is rough and ready...booming kicks, dynamic bass shifts accompanied by the right amount of snare and filter inputs make this one of the toughest on the release not forgetting that its split down the middle with a heavy 303 bleed. Highly recommended!!! ‘Stilled’ runs off in the opposite direction to the other track it shares the B with as its laden with Detroit influenced floating chords and percussion. Support has been received from Jared Wilson and D'Marc Cantu.
