Deeply hypnotic elements are balanced faultlessly with rugged drums, as is the case in ‘Hemi’, where the immense weight of the kick is counteracted by vibrant, hallucinogenic synths. ‘Duster’ picks up the pace, breakbeats footing its rhythm as distorted signals move up and down throughout, after which ‘Flathead’ rounds off this spacey yet functional set of tracks, warping in with a rough edge, bright squelch and intense groove before a star-studded cast of artists remix the package. First up, Umwelt lends his dystopian sound to ‘Mopar’, amping up its drums with an extra layer of crunch and providing the track with mythical scale via overpowering synths. LA’s EAS is up next with a remix of ‘Hemi’, turning it into an ardent hard techno track, with FLASH Recordings boss & sound design wizard Florian Meindl providing a new version of ‘Duster’, maintaining the original’s trippiness via mesmerising vocals while introducing firmness through strong drums. Lastly, ‘Flathead’ gets remixed twice, first by Belgian techno veteran Steve Redhead, who infuses it with a fresh dose of acid, and a second time by Ellora Records honchos Hush & Sleep, who offer their signature hardcore techno sound to the release. Jerome Delfosse AKA Cri Du Coeur is known for his outstanding contribution to Belgium’s dance music scene. He’s behind aliases such as G-Rome and The G, bookings at festivals such as Les Ardentes and Transardentes, and events such as Defcon, LGNDZ UNLTD, and Tape Tape before ultimately starting his imprint Arkham Audio and its sublabel Arkham XXX under his current moniker. The latter has already been host to local talent such as Bad Brahmin and H! Dude, accompanied by remixers like . The Drummer, Tred, Rudosa and many more, with this follow-up release from Jerome cementing the new outlet as one of the most promising techno labels coming out of Belgium. ___ DISCLAIMER: All tracks are uploaded in a low quality for promotional purposes only and with buy links to respect label and artists.
