The United States-based Piltdown Sound collective unearths an
assemblage of synthetic and organic textures for their Mixmux EP,
combining a discriminating palate for human and machine rhythm into
their interpretation of minimal techno.
D1 : Mixmux - 6:22
The EP's title track is a steady dancefloor builder which leaves
nothing out of place -- chugging drums, staccato vocal edits, and rich
washes of reverberation are subtly shifted around a powerful hypnotic
pulse which carries this peak hour track.
D2 : Tiempo Grande - 8:09
Another solid track, Tiempo Grande lays down chopped vox and ethnic
percussion on a bed of beefy analog bass. The rhythmic workout gives
way to an unexpected psychedelic guitar breakdown, culminating in a
swirling melodic cacophony as the beat returns. Twisted horn stabs and
guttural vocal articulations round out this meaty techno entree.
D3 : Tinyfunk - 5:48
Layers of subliminal percolating melodies and bubbling bass rise from
the dark in this subtly melodic ass mover. The stomp builds into a
march as syncopated snare rolls and cryptic plucking rejoin the
original theme to the pleasure of all.
