After the sublime easy-listening piece of jazzy liquid funk that was TB010, it’s back to business as usual. And by business as usual we mean some serious minimal tech brought to you by some more of the underground’s rising talent: A-Cray and Kloro4m.
The Czech Republic’s A-Cray is the heavy hitter here with an impressive back catalogue of releases on IM:LTD, Syndrome Audio, and Authentic Music to name but a few and a developed and individual minimal D&B sound. While Kloro4m, hailing from Luton, is the less established of the two producers, this Young Turk holds his own on the B side against the Czech colossus.
A-Cray’s offering, ‘Untold Stories’, is a thinking man’s monster. Armed with a creepy, metallic intro it gently builds into its blocky minimal amen beat before falling away to a haunting emptiness only to come back stronger when it drops into some serious D&B business. The rest of the scuttling, layered percussion acts as a buttress to the hard and heavy sounding main beat, and really drives home the robotic nature of the tune itself, breaking down into a classic dark amen at the end of the bar. Set against this is a bassline that growls up into the mid range, giving the song an almost funky edge, making this an unexpected dance floor weapon.
Back on the attack with Untold Stories/Solitude this release is Terabyte doing what they do best with two producers to watch in 2014.
