COLECO レコード& CD

Review: Two sub-soaked gems from Coleco on Runtime, two more reasons why you should be keeping a firm focus on the Bristol artist in the future. "Focus 10" takes elements of trap and garnishes them rich juicy bass and haunted eastern cries. "Ambivalence", meanwhile, operates on a superbly spaced out groove where weaves of cosmic texture and star-gazing FX build with mesmerising effect. Remix-wise Adam Elemental does a funky stop/start stutter jam on "Ambivalence" while Om Unit continues his rich vein of form by subverting "Focus 10" into a slower, more menacing groove. Stay focussed.

Review: With material from Hyetal, Bashmore, Headhunter, Joker and more in their discography, Soul Motive have established a reputation for seeking out the various strands of music blossoming both close by their Bristol HQ and far (Cosmin TRG has also featured on the label) Arriving at their eleventh release Soul Motive further indulge the sounds of local talent Coleco, a producer who contributed to one of the label's early, split releases and is now granted the full grip of a twelve inch. Lead track "Hypnagogia" takes it's cue from the loose percussive style of Shackleton, gradually weaving in a thumping half step groove and intoxicating layers of Eastern strings - accomplished stuff! On the flip Victoria Klewin adds her floating, slightly saturated vocal tones to the galloping mysticism of "Find Me."
