Alpas EP

Belfast based techno maestro Louis Irvine is back with his third offering on Progrez. The two track Alpas EP raises the bar in the pumping techno world. Louis is quickly establishing himself as top player in his field, his last two outings Malfunction and In My Mind proved popular among many featuring in various sets and compilations, definitely one to watch here.

Right from the get go we are drawn into the raw techno nature of Alpas. Solid kick drums are offset by hypnotic percussions and slicing hi hats that deliver a very cool contrasting texture. A deep sinister bassline lurks on the low end making the subs work hard. The percussions continue to build delivering a tight rhythmic flow as haunting vocal snippets peek through. If you like your techno raw to the core than this is a must have track for you, top notch stuff.

Rubatosis gets off to a menacing start with a monstrous kick drum that will rattle the foundations of any venue. Ramped up to the max with bassy tones and accompanied by hypnotic, rhythmic percussions you will find yourself completely hooked within seconds. As the tough edged drum arrangement gathers pace a rising synth draws you in even more locking you into the groove for the duration. An absolute stomper of a track that is not to be missed.
