 Locus of Control –Vol. 3

This fall, Detroit techno icons Octave One serve up the third volume of their Locus of Control EP series. The two-track offering again explores the ‘power or powerlessness people feel over the things that shape their world,’ and never has that been more true than during the last 18 months of the pandemic.
It has almost been two years since the release of the last installment. Of course, the pandemic largely explains that delay, but that doesn’t mean the celebrated Burden Brothers haven’t stayed busy in other ways. Already in 2021, they have served up their Reworks and Whatever She Wants EPs, and have also revived their more introspective 90s alias Neveron Sunday for a new EP later in 2021. More than 25 years after first starting out, they continue to shapethe modern techno landscape with their famous analogue approach, as this new EP proves.
It opens with the superb ‘Shameless,’ a heavily percussive yet elastic track that bangs from thestart. The bassline is dark and menacing but also has a subtle sense of techno funk. Once the pixelated chords arrive, the track is doused in a cosmic energy that will take dance floors to the next level. Then comes ‘School of Seven Bells’, a straight-up seven-minute techno workout laden with rich layers of synth and a baseline full of suspense. It immediately gets you on your toes and the ever-evolving pads and loopy drums ensure maximum impact throughout.
These are two more thought-provoking, body-shaking tracks from techno’s finest.

Locus of Control Volume 3

Shameless

The waves rolled in against the beach - onlookers danced and moved beneath the glow of the moonlight as the drums bounced and echoed against the cliffs and the cove.

This was a magical place, ethereal and peaceful. The stars seemed closer than ever despite being millions of miles away against a backdrop of deep treacle black.

Soon the daylight would return and the crowds would retreat into the peaceful ambience of the trees and the tropical forests behind.

Perhaps this was to be their forever place...

Rub A Dub - Tres Lagrimas (Original Mix)

Chicago producer Savile returns to his home base, Argot, for his second release of 2016 -- Share Power. Here, Savile skirts the bleeding edge of American dance music, proving without a doubt that he's mastered his own minimal sound. Lean, hypnotic, and syncopated. Share Power is an ode to collaboration, kindness, and making space, distilled through his vision for Midwestern house and techno.	

Share Power is dedicated to two parties Savile played in Ohio during 2015 -- In Training in Cleveland and Midwest Fresh in Columbus. On "Three Hours In The Meat Sink," Savile wrests maximum impact from the barest elements — a sparse, moaning bassline is the track's backbone, upon which rippling synth, hypnotic hi-hats, and a carefully placed call to arms roll out in stride.

Flip the record over for "Effort Won't Betray You," where explosive chord stabs fill a sharp, syncopated skeleton of percussion — that's all there is, and that's all there needs to be.

A1 Octave One - Eniac

The EBM-indebted techno funk of James Welsh’s ‘Thread’ re-emerges from the industrial fog, evolved into three outstanding remixes by a trio of rising and established artists. Radio Slave adds shuddering percussion and filter to create an edit for devastating dancefloor effect. Lobster Theremin and Workshop alumni Ozel AB reimagines the track as an ethereal rave landscape, while FC Kahuna return to deliver a playful, digital-only take that recently featured as Lauren Laverne’s ‘Headphone Highlight’ on BBC 6Music.

Phantasy approaches it’s landmark hundredth-single release with another impactful single from one of the label’s key artists, James Welsh. Regularly played by producers from Midland to Charlotte De Witte, Welsh’s masterfully dense take on techno and electronica reaches new complexities on ‘Pan’, without ever-sacrificing his singular industrial groove.

The title track is a tunneling electroid roller layered informed by complex conversations seemingly taking place between man, machine, ghostly human speech and a veritable wind tunnel of noise. Perhaps Welsh’s finest connection yet between the blissful and the ruthless, ‘Pan’ demands submission.

On ‘Sink’, Welsh builds yet another perfectly-executed club weapon around an imaginative spoken-word sample, loosening up the tension of it’s more severe partner with a lucid and rhythmic trail of wide-eyed electro.
