Artful Division VA Part I
Artful Division VA Part 1′ is the latest release from UK imprint Artful Division and features the likes of Glenn Astro, Rauld Dancesol and Leon Vynehall dropping beautiful, deep cuts.
The small and perfectly formed imprint’s latest release from Giovanni Damico picked up support from the likes of Larry Heard, Norm Talley and Mr G and the follow up will no doubt gain similarly hefty support.
Following superb releases on Tartelet and Hypercolour-affiliate, Space Hardware, the promising German native, Glenn Astro, gets the EP off to a punchy start with the whacked-out rhythmic funk of ‘Strings’.
Big Bait & Flumo Recordings affiliate, Chocky and Rauld Dancesol both serve up languid, cut back tracks in ‘Blow Down’ and ‘Too Much Saturday’. Utilising busy atmospherics and swollen bass to keep you hypnotically locked from start to finish, both tracks are rich, warm affairs.
Leon Vynehall’s rich vein of form continues with his remix of Glenn Astro’s ‘Strings’. Taking cues from the original’s heavily swung, broken groove, the 3024 and Clone Royal Oak alumnus melts jazz licks and spaced out chords amongst the robust drums.
The final offering from Gnork illustrates the diverse nature of this release with cosmic intonations, rapid rhythms and a submerged tone combining to form truly deep, late night techno.
Artful Division VA Part I is out on the 10th November 2014 on Artful Division.
