INFO
Ivano Tetelepta’s Siena imprint hits double figures with a stylish fifth instalment of its Sampler EP series. The co-founder himself features next to Vivian, Toki Fuko and Tom Liem.
Tetelepta goes first with more of his cavernous and dubbed out grooves. They roll smoothly beneath a jumbled of toms and vocal samples and sci-fi soul comes from the warm chords. Vivian then serves up something brilliantly trippy, with brain cleansing synth lines, alien life forms and a kinetic minimal drum line all making for a late night mood. Next is Tom Liem, the ESHU associate who excels here with the superbly spacious Freediver, a dubbed out ambient techno with a persuasive rhythm and exquisite sound design. Toki Fuko closes out with a more driving dub techno cut that has rippling chords and perfectly undulating drums. This is another forward thinking fusion of dub, minimal, ambient and techno.
