Snow On Your Bed

Too hot? Check your conditioning systems when Unit 21 comes on the scene. Three extremely groovy tracks from 2003, filled with old-school beats, pumpy basslines, and minimal synthy chords, gonna warm up the air.

Rework restructures the Original in some way, and there is also a hidden Groovy-pella track coming afterward.

Unit 21 - Clap It Up (My Hammies) (Rework)

Wait. You say you've heard some of these tracks before? Yes, maybe you did. But don't forget that Unit 21 didn't earn a penny for any of these. So please don't buy this wonderful EP anywhere else except <a href="http://unit21.bandcamp.com/album/suburbs-and-borderlines">Bandcamp page</a>, especially as because you could have 2 exclusive unreleased «cities» from there — Romford and The Hague.
 
Musically Suburbs And Borderlines shows a wide range of techno colours. Ann Arbor is funky and housey, London is slightly garage-flavoured, Windsor is minimal and hypnotic, The Hague is on experimental side, Romford is direct and tribal, and Berlin is surely a dub one. But there is also a word «borderline», that characterizes this mini-album as unique style-blended work, constructed with experience and passion.
 
Timeless tracks, a must-have in every DJ-bag.

[U21R06] Unit 21 - 01 - Ann Arbor

Nice dubby impact from 2006. Quiet, minimal, and structured tracks, which can be treated as transitional, background, or DJ tools.
 
Feel Me, Feel Me sounds the most «busy» with its synthesizer pads, clicks, looped bassline, and reversed drum samples. The «dub» version omits almost everything, leaving only dimly pulsing chords and bassy drone. Ditto and Ctrl sounds more danceable thanks to very low rumbling basslines and short loops.
 
The choice of minimal lover.

[U21R07] Unit 21 - 01 - Feel Me, Feel Me

Deeper to the fades of synthesizer's pulse, falling off into low-frequent abyss. Plastikman meets Basic Channel? Looks like it. Short vocal phrases, acoustic percussion fragments, ocean of reverberation, and monotonous bassdrum. Groove!

These infectious tracks belong to different periods, but they are united under one black flag. Theory one draws the limits, theory two makes a jump, theory three reveals the motive.

Recorded in June, 2003
Remastered and released on 25th November 2010 at www.unit21.bandcamp.com
