about

We're ecstatic to announce that our tenth release will be done by someone who is only a few years older than this catalogue number by age, the incredibly young and talented Dallas-based Cratan, whose work has piqued the interest of some of the industry's biggest names.

"Advanced," the EP’s first offering is a propulsive track with a deft synth stab. During the breakdown, a barrage of slick percussive patterns emerge, surrounded by overdriven rides that insist on being played in a warehouse from the 1990s. With his slinky house-injected flavour, it's a formidable balance of tension and appropriation with "Call," which features a persuasive lead that periodically catches the light over a groovy bass. You'll be transported back to the days of good barebones techno with the title track "Crestfall," which features a panic stricken 16th note cascading percussion. Until you notice the overdriven elements tumbling their way with claps that slap a true classic feel.

The first remix comes from the Italian "Wrong Assessment," who opts for a slightly slower pace for "Advanced" while enveloping it in an eerie soundscape of FM textures and an irresistibly wormy low end groove. It's gleaming and shiny, with almost martial percussion sequences that replace the synth sounds from the original. Finishing off in Sweden with Franz Jäger's spell on "Crestfall," you'll want to hold your breath for what's to come in the form of a vocal-esque pad subdued over an elevated rhythm that just erupts into many sonic dimensions, showcasing his gift for pacing and sound staging while using only the original claps to support his rendition.

about

Observant Bengaluru, India

Our consciousness is rooted in the expansion of abstract beauty. The unexplainable grows through the mechanics of external reality. Communication with tone and light is no coincidence
