Hidden US レコード& CD

Review: New York City's Deepak Sharma is back! The main man behind Hidden Recordings has served up some great releases from the likes of JC Laurent and Dieter Krause in recent times: but it's quite fitting that the head honcho take up the reins on the label's 32nd release: and it's a good one! The Annapurna EP has definitely got you sorted for tunnelling and strobe-lit techno weapons. The title track is a straight ahead DJ tool on the trippy side. It's as effective as anything Pole Group have done of late, while "Makalulu" hones in on that noisy/industrialised strain of hypnotic techno, similar to the Avian label. Finally on the flip is the most euphoric affair in the form of 'Cho Oyu". A stripped back warehouse jam that simply lets the power of that cavernous kick drum work with those gated pads to sublime effect.
