Again 3 Channels... bar 135 brings you three different flavours.Deeop and ketiev are really really keeping the things alive! I'll start with the last one, the one that better suits me; Close up is a tripy minimal production fully functional that, step to step, misteriously, takes the levels to a higher state!The last two minutes of this music are genious. Amnesia is different kind of music, to the mind, to let you tripp, fly... i think this kind of music can't be described, it's music that touch in the heart, in the soul; Lady Salata the A side of the ep is more a bit too housy but its a nice tune to a club! The release nr 63 on Trapez Records. To be released in the beggining of May
Making Minimaland happier:
a1 - 2 Minuty Po Tym
b1 - Jack In
b2 - Antypatia
After successful releases on Crosstown Rebels and Trapez Ltd, it seems Reynold (half part of Duplex 100 project) comes back to his origins, The German Trenton records.
The Polish name of the track on side A (“2 minutes after that”) may relate to what is happening after a breakdown filled with Detroit synths giving that "deja vu" sensation. The “hole” lasts more than 2 minutes and what comes afterwards is a very dynamic mixture of techy hats, bouncey synths and recycled bass, pushing always in one direction.Forward!. Very good stuff
Not worse is the minimal tech house “Jack In” on the flip. The percussive elements nicely going together with rustling samples and a pulsating bass is something that 3 Channels are well known for and its becoming one of their marks. Here, the foundation is completed with acid synths and a distorted male vocal .
The softer part of the EP is “Antypatia”. More subdued and minimal, without fireworks but with smoothly working clicks and interesting, buzzing synths instead it should find its place in the earlier parts of DJ sets, when the floor is asking for a tiny sound breakdown.
Making a review in all the points, it seems that this is an Ep with three personalities and a greater diversity, not sticked to the same music construction order and sounds, making it an Ep to carry on with your journeys. Not perfect, but polished!
