Oblivion EP – Odd Even 04
Vuelve a nuestras cubetas la cuarta referencia del sello Odd Even, con cuatro tracks del dúo Boston 168.
This duo is not from Massachusetts, rather Turin, Italy and focus on psychedelic / acid / techno vibes according to their Soundcloud profile; quite an apt description. They have appeared on labels like Involve and Enemy previously and now Germany’s Odd Even for the Oblivion EP. «Nightcall» has a taste for the acid life that pushes that 303 to it’s full limit like an Acid Test record over a tough beat, but it’s the title track which really nails it: this is droning and hypnotic techno further fuelled by a well-executed acid snarl and a ferocious and shuffling rhythm. On the flip «Split String» sounds like a fierce Jeff Mills 909 live drum solo but then that chiming synth melody comes through with those claps on the kick, sounding more like a Rodhad cut. Great stuff!
