Rich, deep, melodic techno influenced by likes of Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream.___________________________________Press.Ukrainian/Australian producer and musician Tim Jackiw's techno heart beats strongly on this hugely impressive EP that also takes inspiration from the more classically-leaning great 20th century composers like Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream. An obvious talent, his highly musical approach is evident across this record. His is a rich, deep, melodic style which pulsates into play on the record's opener, 'Crimea' where swooping strings and stabs swirl their way round a direct and pulsating electro-patterned bass in a quite masterful piece. Next up 'Oculus', with its slight change of pace, weaves together brittle synth melodies, sweet 808 cowbells and a deep insistent bass line, morphing into an emotive string-led climax, rounding off a fantastic A side. On the flip surging pads envelope a funky, solid bassline on "Element 115" and within a minute we're into a techno dream, pulling us along with its frenetic beat. Closing things is the subaquatic beauty of "Wisteria" at first a deep, gentle turn but then accented with a wonderful, gnarly bass line, pulling the soaring beauty of the music into an impossibly funky, danceable groove. High quality music for the mind and body; a masterful turn from one of techno's true talents.

Sugar does what Sugar does best, this time on his own label. Copenhagen fast pace techno with elements of industrial and trance. Abfahrt!

An afterimage of a free party in Carpathian forest. First, intransigent kicks and psy-vibe that does go deep enough - slowly and sharply. Then, an overwhelming softness and progression (watch out for the looong, quiet breakdown!), acid joined by an acoustic guitar that somehow works, as well as a little bit of triggering story-telling to wrap it all upThis is a re-master and reapplication of ultra-limited Thracian CD-R from 2003. Originialy given away in Lukovit, Lovech Province, Bulgaria. It's a 3rd part of Brutaż expedition into the chillout zone of 90s Eastern Europe. Look out for more, maybe?Re-mastered and cut on 45 RPM by Tim Xavier at Manmade Mastering
