Vinyl only exclusive track
20th April 2015

Quickly becoming one to watch in the techno circles, John Shima is making waves with his fresh approach to that classic Detroit sound. His contribution for boe is nothing short of a stunning representation of underground electronic music.

The main track Prototype is an industrial house track machined with grit and mechanics. It’s a sonic ode to industry: blueprinted in the motor city and forged in Sheffield. It’s heads down for the dance floor with shimmering metallic overtones and a side order of robot jack.

Ancient Skies points more towards Chicago stylings with shades of Casual and Relief syncopated basslines and swing. John manages to capture the melancholy party vibe of those early records with crystal clear production skills and neat arrangements.

Transducer is groovy experimental techno that could have easily sat on the much revered Objet D’Art compilation from ‘94. Dreamy, fluid and pumping. It’s electronic music that will stand the test of time.

Rounding off the EP in fine style is True Distance. A stunning ambient piece with deep pads and swirling melodies that complement and round of the EP perfectly.

Michal Poncar started his playing in 1993 under a name DJ Face. In that times it was just in small places near Prague. As an eager Radio 1 listener he met Béla Némeshegyi and very soon he started to write reviews for Béla..s Pareniste server under a nickname Myclick.

House in all its periods was his favourite. But there was basic change at the end of 2001 and the beginning of 2002. Then he was contacted by <a href="http://www.lucasross.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lucas Ross</a> the guitar player, Mataro purchased electronic percussion and Face 2 Face project had got its roughcast.
