Techno: Made in Russia


Russian pro-Detroit label Etiku World recently released third vinyl in their catalogue The Reminder "Underwater Senses". It was already supported by Vince Watson, DJ 3000, Len Faki, Dave Clarke, Fabrice Lig, Chymera or Elliott Dodge. Let's find out more what Mr. Olivier Mutschler who is responsible for The Reminder's or Mush's music prepared for listeners.

From the beginning original track "Underwater Senses" starts with fat bassline & lush melodics definitely influenced by music of Vince Watson. It's driving dynamics get listeners in the world of beautiful music when you forget about such cliches as "techno". And The Reminder get further with acidish sounds & solid programmed music. Basically, tune "Underwater Senses" is an example of contemporary techno music without compromises.
But next track "Coffee First" was more praised by well-known DJ's than "Underwater Senses" & it's obvious why. Maybe for 1,5 minute "Cofee First" progresses with solid bass "what people influenced by modern berlinish sound really like listen to". B1 is like a hidden jam that reveal it's qualities in the middle of action. It's built on contrast between echoes & background melody. It's a game of sound that is called techno music.

Here we witness best Eastern European label's techno production in ages. Recommend!
