Cocoon: Nastia & Einzelkind In The Mix CD

As the rather matter-or-fact title suggests, Cocoon's latest double-disc mix-up showcases the DJ skills of two extended family members: globe-trotting Ukranian selector Nastia and Frankfurt's Einzelkind. The former handles disc one, touching on both traditional and off-kilter techno via cuts from the likes of Slam, Luke Slater, Calibre, Terrence Dixon and Luke Slater. Einzelkind's disc is, as you'd expect, a much more trippy affair, and is made up entirely of his own productions (either solo or collaborative). While some may see this as being a little on the indulgent side, it actually gives the mix focus. Given that a number of cuts have never before been heard outside of his DJ sets, it's something of a treat for fans of his particular blend of wonky late night techno.
