Charles Fenckler | Program EP
[SOMA406D]

1.	Program
2.	Function
3.	Subject Perform

Charles Andre, aka Charles Fenkler is a young and talented French producer with a passion for techno and is set for his much anticipated second release with Soma. Bolstering on support roused in the underground techno scene from his well-received debut Anklam, Fenckler brings his signature fast-faced percussion in his deep and powerful techno tracks. He may be young but he continues to prove his knowledge and passion, merging influences from Europe and Detroit. Definitely one to watch as one of the Soma new breed 

Fenckler doesn’t mess about as title track Program starts off with all guns blazing. A powerful kick steadily thumps away as a mechanised lead welds this track together, straight up hi hats, rides and further stripped back percussion add to this dance floor monster.

The hypnotising Function drops next as Fenckler shows once again that less is definitely more. Looped out, ringing toms glide across another ferocious kick as the ever so slight delay across the rhythm make this a fast paced Detroit reminiscent track.

Subject Perform finishes the EP off in just the right way; by taking things up another notch! Fenckler creates great tension throughout this closing track, slowly releasing the arsenal of sounds at his disposal, again opting for a minimalistic approach to his production. 

Charles Fenckler is slowly but surely garnering great attention and rightly so as he blends tried and tested minimal production methods with a modern pace

“6AM in Bermondsey” is the latest collaboration between Preston and Made, inspired from a trip to London while supporting Gary Beck for Abyss Glasgow. The EP is designed for warm up sets. Stripped-back, hypnotic cuts crafted for the early moments of the dancefloor. Rolling grooves, looping textures, and subtle tension designed to pull you deeper into the night.

@slv-berlin - Reflected Light
(Soma 537d)

1. Reflected Light
2. Dreamscapes
3. Unhealthy

Soma favourite SLV marks a return to the label with a brand new single, Reflected Light EP. With a special concept album in the works, the Berlin based producer drops three uniquely crafted tracks that show a maturation of his already well sculpted sound. 

Title track Reflected Light is an energetic, rave infused track set to SLV's signature rolling, powerful drum workouts. Dreamscapes take has SLV on an acid tip reminiscent of early Plastikman. A subtle yet eerily deep acid line drifts across well crafted percussive elements that are drenched in just enough reverb to deliver that atmospheric tension. Keeping things fresh, SLV rounds of the EP with a tougher broken beat affair. Twisted, modulating leads snarl throughout as rock hard drums set the pace.

Slam / @paragraph - Transport EP
Soma 533d

1. The Method
2. Response
3. Strike Encounter
4. Transport

Slam’s final release of the year has them heading back into dance floor orientated territory with the Transport EP. 2018 has been a massive year for the duo with their non stop touring alongside typically huge releases on Soma, plus the release of their 7th studio album ‘Athenæum 101’ to critical acclaim. 

The Method gets the EP going as evolving, modulating synths carry the vibe against straight up and effective drums. Taking a more deeper approach, Response glides gently with pulsating yet subtle tones used for hypnotic effect as energetic percussion constructs a jacking element to the track. Picking up the pace again, Strike Encounter has a tripped out sequence, reminiscent of early Hood minimalism, driving the core with a sense of urgency. Highly effective drum patterns keep the rapidity in check also. Slam power home the EP with it’s titular final track, Transport. Jarring, percussive like synth attack with unrelenting momentum, further tension being built by creative FX use once again. A more emotive element is introduced with a hovering yet uneasing pad, that gives way to the unyielding energy present throughout.

Slam - The Method (Soma533d)

ANT039 - Roberto Capuano - Free Roberto Capuano confirms his superb skills as producer, making another great release for Analytic Trail. After the incredible success of Melting Process EP, label boss Markantonio takes the hands on what will be a superlative work and Roberto Capuano got the keys again for the stargate of Techno galaxy. "Free" is an EP made by 3 tracks, first is the omonimus. It's made by a straight bassline, heavy hi hats and shakers, and the vocal sample takes the rhythm very high on the endless synth in background, Techno war is coming. The spaceship is ready to go in the Oblivion of the darkness, a galactic bassline rides on the kick very fast and hi hats are the kinetic force moving everything on and on. The real engine is the ancestral synth that falls on the track as a glorious victory anthem, the imperial vessels are ready for the Techno interstellar conflict. Fight is ending, earth is obscured by a terrifying Eclipse a powerful kick is pushing on the cosmic bassline in perfect collision with the shakers and hi hats. No way to survive, the sharp synth is rising to explode on the crowd to reach the soul of each Techno soldier that lives inside of all. Is finally done the connection between parallel worlds and Roberto Capuano is a gorgeous Techno commander of course. But as always, Analytic Trail is the right platform to bring out astral music.
