Tolga Fidan – TFR 002

Extremely well rounded release. Every track fits the spacey/electro sound that I love yet they each have enough of their own identity and deserve a play. If I had to choose, I'd say B2 is my favorite. I will be keeping an eye on this producer from now on. Thanks Tolga.

Turkish producer Tolga Fidan is seemingly able to switch styles at will. Throughout the course of his decade-long career, the Berlin-based producer has shuffled between various forms of house, techno and experimental electronica. This second 12" on his TFR series finds him in full-on electro mode, blasting off into space via thrilling layered, Drexciya-inspired workouts such as "Gertu". As you'd probably expect, there's still plenty of subtle variety present throughout the EP. Contrast, for example, the fizzing, alien electronics, woozy bass, spacey chords and metallic percussion of "ZUNBS346", the acid-driven melancholy of closer "Grand", and the 4/4 electro stomp of "Hoofe".
