B1 - WESLEY MATSELL - BISMUTH

finestylewest are absolutely made up to present the debut EP from Osaka-based techno producer tsumasaki, a fixture of underground events of all stripes across Kansai with her live sets for the past several years. 

We have pulled out all the stops to make this release a very special one - you only get the one debut after all - highlighting her cracking sound design and making sure all of these tracks punch their due weight booming out a pair of speakers. 

As the title suggests, the name of the game this time around is techno, albeit in a variety of flavours. The collection leads off with topi, a track taking its cues from both the (huge intake of breath) Les Rhythmes Digitales remix of Cassius's "Feeling for you" and Kraftwerk as mixed by François Kevorkian, the thumping electro rhythm augmented by delays pinging the melodic elements up down left right front back and centre to infinity and beyond. 

rat tail is pure shrieking driving acid techno, not too far from what labelmate and influence IDATEN gets up to whenever he's on a techno tip but more punishing, more relentless and more careening off the rails, with a garage house loop thrown in for good measure even towards the end. 

Conversely gua - possibly the objective pick of the bunch - is simply sublime, perfectly encapsulating the minimal ethos developed by Kompakt and similar labels in the early noughties. It is here where the cracking sound design absolutely shimmers, not the one sound excessive or out of place but rather everything working seemlessly together to build up and sustain its own little world. 

Lastly greed has been one of the cornerstone tracks of tsumasaki's live set and, speaking honestly, the track that got her onto the label. As the word "epic" has been beaten to death in the English language we shall say instead it is an odyssey of a track, dragging you left before swerving right and then shoving you back left again with a dollop of rave stabs on top. It is testament to a truly impressive vision of what techno can be and should be a staple for its sheer ingenuity. 

On the remix front both IDATEN and Sekitova launch lead-off single topi into breaks territory, with IDATEN taking a bouncier, housier approach (not for nothing has he received several call-ups supporting Soichi Terada for Kyoto shows) whilst Tokyo-based, Osaka-bred Sekitova's more progressive and ambient take will be held up in 20 years' time as the perfect example of the Kansai breaks/house sound, not too far removed from what you would expect from Pee.J Anderson and yet another (albeit very different) triumph of excellent sound design. 

Label head Archipelago Soundsystem flips greed into a dark cybernetic grime number, punch-drunk portamento sub bass and seasick guitar feedback samples trying to work out just where everything in their life went wrong on the last train home, the odd rave hit flying by like the reflections of city lights on the glass. 

For the last track and this time's special guest remixer we're once again back in Barcelona but switching genres to trance with Aeryeen, cofounder of label/club night SEXTOSENTIDO. Last year's Flashing lights EP (sextosentido909.bandcamp.com/album/sxt000-flashing-lights) was a personal favourite for its euphoric and melodic approach to the genre but this remix trades on pure rhythm, its gorgeous gated synth line rising from a sea of motorik squelching sequencers and haunting FX.
