A1 - Approaching an Ocean Planet B1 - Neptune IV B2 - Geometric Shadows on Iced Surfaces P.God aka Paolo Dioguardi hails from Naples in Italy. Still in his 20s, he makes music that belies his youth and Neptune IV sounds like the work of a veteran producer. Lead track Approaching an Ocean Planet sees grainy, dense beats and hypntoic bleeps take the lead, but hovering above the arrangement, tethered to the reverberated, doubled up claps, are ghostly, eerie chords. The title track adopts a similar approach, with bursts of metallic percussion underscoring spacey pads as P.God drops a droning, tunneling rhythm track. Finally, Geometric Shadows on Iced Surfaces sees the young producer opt for a deeper approach. This time the chords envelop a purring groove, but the same sense of understated menace is still audible thanks to the austere hats and bleak subsonic bass. Capturing Jeff Millss estoeric side and the hypnotic magic of Sleeparchive, Neptune IV is a real techno journey! Feedback Luke Slater (Mote Evolver) Really, really good release!

Hypnotic, militaristic at the same time, hard style, but inviting material. Really feeling it! Especially 'Neptune IV'. I have a gig in Los Angeles next week and will be sure to play it out!
