 Locus of Control –Vol. 3

This fall, Detroit techno icons Octave One serve up the third volume of their Locus of Control EP series. The two-track offering again explores the ‘power or powerlessness people feel over the things that shape their world,’ and never has that been more true than during the last 18 months of the pandemic.
It has almost been two years since the release of the last installment. Of course, the pandemic largely explains that delay, but that doesn’t mean the celebrated Burden Brothers haven’t stayed busy in other ways. Already in 2021, they have served up their Reworks and Whatever She Wants EPs, and have also revived their more introspective 90s alias Neveron Sunday for a new EP later in 2021. More than 25 years after first starting out, they continue to shapethe modern techno landscape with their famous analogue approach, as this new EP proves.
It opens with the superb ‘Shameless,’ a heavily percussive yet elastic track that bangs from thestart. The bassline is dark and menacing but also has a subtle sense of techno funk. Once the pixelated chords arrive, the track is doused in a cosmic energy that will take dance floors to the next level. Then comes ‘School of Seven Bells’, a straight-up seven-minute techno workout laden with rich layers of synth and a baseline full of suspense. It immediately gets you on your toes and the ever-evolving pads and loopy drums ensure maximum impact throughout.
These are two more thought-provoking, body-shaking tracks from techno’s finest.

School Of The 7 Bells

Regal - Pulzar [Inv001]

As Figure begins to move into the next chapter of its label history, label founder Len Faki has teamed up with young French talent Roman Poncet for the 54th release. Poncet's debut on the label dropped last year with the excellent 'Cerate' cutting a clear path for his precisely executed modern techno sound. 

Teaming up in the studio, Faki and Poncet have crafted 'Asua' - a mesmerising display of production skill and a testament to the duo's true understanding of hypnosis. Pushing from the start with its urgent bassline the track builds and morphs its intertwining elements, introducing subtle textures and suggestions of melody - a classic Figure late night ritual. 

Alongside, we have original tracks from both Len Faki and Roman themselves. Faki's thunderous and aptly titled 'Stripped' works his powerhouse percussion along with a textured dub-stab in this straight up club trip. 

Finally with 'Truck' Roman Poncet completes the EP, his rough synth stabs and metallic percussion driving this moody tension builder ever forward.

A - Humano - Death (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)
B - Inigo Kennedy - NGC6826 Blinking Eye (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)

For this latest entry into the LFRMX-catalogue Len Faki has chosen two synth-driven tracks of anthemic proportions. Reeko, also known as Architectural, with only one release under his Humano-guise, gets picked for its dramatic strings and larger-than-life stabs, slowly building towards a driving momentum, taking on the peak time with style.
The flip sports mainstay Inigo Kennedy, whose original track built heavily on atmospheric IDM-breakbeats, but works just as well with a straight corset issued by Faki, now highlighting the poetic synth work at its core even more.
