With releases on 7th Sign, Persistencebit and Self Defence to his credit, Belgian DJ/producer Franco Cangelli returns to his own Mowar label for this killer four-track EP. Inspired by classic techno and contemporary machinations in equal measure, Cangelli�s palette is varied but sophisticated. �Pressure� kick starts the EP in dubby mode, but the fat beats and spooky riffs are soon joined by a warm, sublime chord sequence. �Frantic�, as the title suggests, picks up the pace, with a slamming, slightly off-rhythm underpinning wired analogue bleeps. Thanks to Cangelli�s smooth production touch, it manages to sound both timeless and modern. On the other hand, �Fringe� and �Deviate� make no secret about their influences. The latter deploys raw, crunchy beats and a shuffling groove as the basis for a sensuous chord sequence, while �Fringe� is even more reverent. Gently filtered bleeps and tones cascade over tight claps and an insistent, jerky rhythm that recalls Stasis and Derrick May. Don�t miss out on this future-retro gem!
