Brouqade

Review: American minimal maestro Kamran Sadeghi is without a doubt one the most singular talents in techno at the moment and here offers yet more refreshing perspectives for Dana Ruh and Anthea's Broquade imprint. This follows up some killer releases of later of late by the NYC/Berlin based live act on Meander and Fasten Musique. On the A side we have the stripped back trance induction exercise of "Come Here" most likely conjured from is impressive modular setup, awash in glitchy delay drenched drums and whirry synth textures. On the flip, "Compound Eye" is a more energetic effort with its tribal drum workout beneath airy pads and analogue blips and blurps - all combined for tremendous hypnotic effect. Finally, he teams up with label boss Ruh for a drastic change of vibe - but not altogether unpleasant! The boompty business of "Call & Response" sees Sadeghi's studio wizardry combine with Ruh's sense of swing perfectly on this sunny afterhours joint - that wouldn't sound out of place aboard the Hoppetosse on a Sunday morning!
