214 - Around the Bend

Straight up electro mainstay 214 returns to Klakson with Around The Bend, an EP that’s no doubt looking to the future of post lockdown. Tailored by an upbringing on Frustrated Funk and ties to labels like Shipwrec, Lunar Disko, Central Processing Unit and 20:20 Vision, 214’s Klakson cuts have always been classic. Keeping it super beat-centric and percussive on the drums the whole EP-through, get your overt Drexciyan motifs outta the lead cut with acid trips of splendour to be had in “Mosquito Bay”. Grubbier sessions with subtle LFO aka Warp-style synths on loop make the cut in “Perfect Circuit” next to some edgy riffs and hardcore basslines in “Take Away”. Quality.
