Cultured Greek outlet Echovolt serves up its second EP of the year and this one comes from Amsterdam techno pair Crystal Maze aka Gstring and MarcoAntonio Spaventi. 'Black Orchid EP' contains two deep and long techno jams, and one shorter track characterized by an otherworldly beat. There are moments in which the production places plenty of focus on melody, while elsewhere eerie synth sounds conjure an uneasy sense of terror that turns into trippy, loopy techno rhythms. There’s plenty of warmth, atmosphere and inventiveness in all of the three tracks on offer: together they make an ideal combination that's suitable for both club use and heady home listening.
