RELEASE DATE 11/2024

GENRE Breaks, House, Techno

MEDIA FORMAT 12", EP

For ALT014, Altered Circuits presents its first Various Artists release. In addition to the label’s co-founder, three friends of the label appear on this heterogeneous, club-oriented 12″. “Portal”, with its breakbeat layered drum section and spartan bass hook, sounds like classic Innershades from the start. When the angular leads and slowly phased, ominous chords hit, we are reminded of the artist’s fondness for the new beat genre and his ability to translate its tropes and conventions to the present. On “Show You Love”, Mr. Ho combines skippy two-step drums with an MS20 type of flat bass.

After introducing a one-bar mid-bass arpeggiator, gently swelling pads, leisurely spread side riffs and reverb-drenched musings join, calibrating the vibe to lush and groovy. On the other side, Oshana treats groove as the focal point with her “Hey Kiss Kiss” contribution. Over its 6-minute course, the snappy 909 kick rarely relents while a bunch of often short, many a time looped sequences emerge and disappear, unfolding a hypnotic tapestry of textures. Rising talent Salom?e closes the VA with “Late Night Summer”, a track capable of setting the floor in motion at any moment. It revolves around a portamento-heavy, neon-tinged lead that lingers long after the track ends and a sturdy, efficient one-note bass pulse.
