Review: UK producer Tom Carruthers really impresses with this full length for Rom Morelli's revered US imprint LIES. It is steeped in bleep traditions and old-school electronic sounds, but all with a fresh new perspective. Right off the bat, this record draws you in: there are early Chicago jack tracks like the opener 'Can You Feel It', melon-twisting deep cuts such as 'Cyclone' and chattery melodic jams like 'Fantasies' which all hark back to a different era. 'Forge' explores a mysterious world of interplanetary house, 'Quest For Rydm' echoes the sound of LFO and 'Channel Control' is pure dance floor heat. This is music for getting E'd up and losing yourself in the middle of a warehouse, and we love it.
Review: Tom Carruthers is a Cheshire based producer who heads up the Non Stop Rhythm imprint which has executed a relentless output since its inception two years ago. Processed World sees him return to Ron Morelli's LIES for his second full-length, where he continues his explorations in classic techno. There are clearly Derrick May-influenced cuts such as the funky opener 'In The Night' and the evocative hi-tech soul of 'Digital Age' on the first side, while the robotic grooves inspired by first wave Detroit continue over on the flip with 'Factory Settings' benefitting from the same 909 syncopated rhythms and the 'Transmat worship' of 'On & On'.
