Recondite – EC10

Equilibrium is featured on the Recondite Indifferent Mix 2023. Yes these tracks are "heavy", but that is entirely intentional. The mix is a perfekt showcase for use of this unusual sound. Mindblowing...

Very dark release, great dark pads especially on 2 b-side tracks, however the kichdrums and bass lines on all 4 tracks are so heavy that are almost unlistenable tracks. Great tracks but awful mastering.

imho hasn't really dated all that well. nice little synthy arpeggio line still but really lacking the funk. Enjoyed this at the time whilst intoxicated in a rave, but otherwise, nah, filler material.

I would like to mention EC10 for its dark funkiness and catchy groove. Sinister smile across your fave when this plays. Into the depths you go...

I agree with restless and mijajo on this. "Cleric" is otherworldly. Dark & Haunted to the maximum. Will withstand the test of time.

Yes "Cleric", unsurprisingly one of the big hits of the 2013-2014 warehouse techno season, with a nice early 90s trance feeling (these gentle arpeggios) updated through *those* contemporary super stomping massive subaquatic Berghain-friendly kicks.
Quite far from his earlier, more subtle and deeper works on Plangent or Acid Test, this is an "easy" one for big rooms, but very pleasant in a peaktime devastation way, will probably remain as a classic of its era.
