โUnrilisโ continue to impress us with another quality affair with โMaaeโ at the driving seat.
This is a release from a label that just doesnโt let up in its persistence of purity and affection for some of the best techno on the planet. With recent outputs that have included artists โKaiser Discoโ, โEnrico Sangiulianoโ, โMark Reeveโ, โMars Billโ & โCari Lekebuschโ the question you ask yourself is โhow can it continue at this levelโ and the answer is it just does and with complete conviction.
โMaaeโ is the focal point on the platter this time with three tracks delivered that certainly keep this super oiled techno machine active and quality levels up.
โMaaeโ originates from โBarcelonaโ and considered quite an uprising on the surface of our scene, however please dig a little bit deeper and you will find an array of quality โMaaeโ music thatโs been released over the past few years including great remixes from โSkoberโ, โSpektreโ and prolife demanding labels.
We start with the track โFingers Crossedโ which is a deep and dark affair. Itโs quite a heavy sound with a distorted kick drum and defining techno hats that move the track along nicely. Thereโs a relentless hit sound that builds throughout changing in velocity and movement delays to great affect. Vocal snippets are introduced and a hypnotic middle break which will sound awesome on a huge system.
Flip to the next track we have the title โ Always Could be badโ but in contrary to the title itโs far from it. This is more anthemic in a way as it features an infectious building synth array that is really emotive. It crosses the borders well with almost house type rhythms, vocal hits are introduced and for a Techno track its quite lush in many ways โ a really big floor mover for many DJs boxes.
The third out put on this EP is โ Push The Modeโ, here we have something a bit more experimental with different sounding vocal scat that filters in / out of the mix. Its more drum orientated that the other tracks in a way until you get the very dark break which is almost more rave esque but done in a cool way. Again its one of those tracks that will have a big impact on a large system and then you will really feel it depth.
Overall โMaaeโ is certainly a quality outfit and releasing this EP on a powerhouse label.
