 Derek Carr is a shining light in the world techno. Born and raised on a diet of soulful machine music, this Irish artist has honed his sound over decades. It is this wealth of knowledge and experience that forms the backdrop of Arrival.

Carr is greatly influenced by the complex, yet warm, style that characterised UK techno in the 1990s. This inspiration flows through the LP, a ten-track trip that begins with the understated elegance of the title piece. And elegance is an undoubted quality of this album. Drums are bold and melodies delicate in “Alaska Blue” with “Lunar Cycles” tracing a journey back to the halcyon days of deep electronics. The skies above, or the heavens, are a definite creative source for Carr. “Anoat System,” with its soaring strings, and “Droid World,” whose sparks of electro grow to a superb brightness, tell of a fictional fascination with space. The parred back grandeur of “Apollo” tells another story. From a base of brittle beats and static rinses, orbiting notes bend and reflect as a measured musical epic unfolds. Across the album, an unrivalled sense of balance is achieved. The bolder kicks of “Haemoglobin” give space for cascading, fragile keys. That same bedrock proves fertile ground for the crafted textures and smooth harmonies of “Inside Out.” The closer, “MCR”, brings another element to the proceedings. A raft of drum patterns and a liquid bassline give rise to a final foray into the stars, twinkling notes ebbing to twilight.  “Arrival” is emblematic of Derek Carr’s talent. Travelling across ten tracks, this audio journey explores the splendours of this world, and beyond, through lovingly crafted compositions. Timeless electronics from a modern-day master.

How Du - Hd-Gold

Gated's second compilation takes inspiration from the path less travelled, the earthen underbelly that binds disparate threads to its wonky centre.

So while the music here is from artists all over the world, each track is grounded in a quirky, off-kilter sound, from the opener by UK hardware house don @perseus-traxx to the closer by Space Agent, the alias of a yet-to-be unveiled techno artist.

In between we get Gated stalwarts @guavid, @polyseme, @acidulant, and @LloydStellar with their takes on the wonk, plus glassy-eyed electro from Austin, USA-based @collinsullivan, unusually banging fare from man of the moment @MOY, and broken techno from the criminally under-appreciated @StacieAnneChu.

There's also the reissued and remastered sub-bass squelcher Beta Carotene by @modifiedsounds, which was originally released in 1998 on UK breaks label Slalom.

Play it loud.

Deep Obsessions

Life Is A Hideout (NUMM06)

The rippling water was deep and dreamy as he watched from atop the cliff in the heat of the afternoon. Him and his fellow divers had gathered to watch the waves from up above before jumping into the depths of the murky blue unknown later that evening. The tide was too fierce at present and the roaring ocean crashed against the rocky abstract - soon it would be quiet and still. The heat was baking out upon the peak and in the distance they watched the ships come and go. 

Echovolot Records are not one to be placed in brackets - each release is as different and magical as ever but this latest EP from Priori has found a warm place in our hearts.
