Julien Chaptal - Silver Surface / Rusty Bicyclette

Release date: December 15th 2014

It’s always a pleasure to behold Amsterdam based producer Julien Chaptal back amongst the Saved fold. He has well and truly delivered the goods every time he has appeared on the label. His new two track EP, ‘Silver Surface / Rusty Bicyclette is no different, offering a brace of quality, underground techno that is uncompromising yet groovy until the last.

‘Silver Surface’ is a deep and melodic tech workout. The cascading drum patterns work in total harmony with the rolling melodies and wave-like bass to create a tight groove that locks you in right away. Its rhythms are fascinating, as is its ability to balance its light and airy aesthetic with its bass-driven and underground attitude.

‘Rusty Bicyclette’ is far tougher and uncompromising, delving into a raw, dubby atmosphere right from the start. Stripped back and driven almost entirely by driving sub-bass, crunching 4/4s and unflinching FX, the track is a no-nonsense warehouse destroyer that is full of both energy and charisma. Both tracks here are Julien Chaptal at his succinct and dynamic best. He makes a welcome home at Saved yet again!!
