1800HaightStreet stacking up some serious mountainous techno heat from the depths of Vancouver. An insect army marching upon the world, with no hope and only Apocalyptic horns and terror-inducing drones emanating from the heavens.
On 'Are You Here', nthng takes an up-tempo bucket-booted drum shuffle and steadily filters it's way into a skittering hat furore, all coated with epic pads and a demi-hoover rave stab. Full fire-alarm business.
On the flip, there's serious influence from early trance and techno with the warehouse-crushing 'In The Afterglow'. Constructed on the back of an early 90's hard house-esque alien synth patterns and rolling wildly into the deepest depths of the forest rave, until the long-awaited sunlight pads come bursting through the leaves.
Having opened up 2015 with his thumping debut 'Momentary Archive' on Lobster Theremin, Sean Dodd aka Reflec turns out more rhythmic, melodic rollers for war-torn techno imprint Pacific Command.
Exploring darker and deeper shades of techno since his last 12", Dodd instills his productions with a breakneck velocity, a runaway mentality that threads it's way through all three tracks on the EP.
