Kevin Reynolds (2) - Afrik / Anonymous Room At The Corridor Of Last Night

pipecock, Jun 02, 2007

This is a fantastic example of what Detroit techno sounds like in the 00s. Mr. Reynolds has spent a good deal of time with Aril Brikha and Derrick May, you can hear both in these stunningly beautiful melodic tunes, but this is not just an old school effort here. Modern production tools and tricks are used to great effect without sounding gimmicky or dated. Glitched out vocal bits in "Afrik" actually work as part of a fully composed and arranged melody and song. "Anonymous Room...." utilises warm synth chords and bongos to get really deep before the clean subbass comes in to really increase the energy level. These tunes will be banged out by both melodic techno and deep house deejays for years to come. A fantastic 12" record. Now we just need the rest of the album to drop on wax!
