HAVEN return with another killer EP from Berlin duo New Frames - Mathis Mootz (aka The Panacea) and David Frisch. There’s no messing around in their second release on the imprint, with the A1 track ‘Clownhouse Reality’ designed pummelling bodies with it’s driving 4-4 rhythms, spiky synths and perfect techno sound design. The A2 continues this formula with ‘Variation Is A Feature Not A Flaw’ - where the huge pounding drums and rolling break samples interplay with wailing sound effects and a lively side-chained mid-range synth in another dance-floor burner.

The tempos increase on the flip with the B1 track, ‘Proton Isospace’, leading the charge with its sinister melodic stabs, rolling drum patterns, and creeping washes of mid-bass guaranteed to get feet moving. The B2 ends the record with a massive Manni Dee remix of New Frames modern classic ‘Scatter’ released on the first Sardonic Tonality compilation back in 2019. The UK producer proves his mettle in this re-imagining with colossal drum work, a monster rap line, and a cheeky half-time build up to close out another hefty offering from the HAVEN camp.
