“It’s an exciting time for Idle Hands, as the fledgling label mutates into a many headed musical beast. After the Bristol record shop Rooted Records sold its last chunk of wax late last year, Idle boss Chris Farrell has carried the torch and opened the Idle Hands store on Stokes Croft in Bristol city centre. Just as the shop highlights Idle Hands’ dedication to its hometown, this latest release on the label marks the first time the music has come from outside the city limits. Szare will probably not be a name familiar to many, having covertly established himself on the lauded Horizontal Ground label, basking in the stamped white label anonymity of deep, troublesome 4/4. Now with this release and his Syndrom Z label, the producer steps just a little into the light to expose his unique abstractions on swung techno. ‘Volya’ ploughs a sparse and percussive furrow, while ‘Action Five’ boasts a wistful, dreamlike melodic bent to leave you with two distinctly different, but equally enthralling cuts.”
