From their Philadelphia base, the Great Circles label has proved a worthy if intermittent outlet for the region's ever vibrant experimental electronic scene, with founder Justin Gibbon's having created the label out of the momentum built up from the long running Inciting events series he's been involved in. Perhaps the label's greatest achievement to date is shining a light on the underscore loving _moonraker project that Metasplice's Kenneth_Lay does with Jason Carr, exposing them to the keen ear of TTT boss Will Bankhead who issued their Lowjit Vagrants EP earlier this year. Gibbon himself has been experimenting with production for some time, previously working as Pandemix, and he makes his Great Circles debut here as Westov Temple with a four track EP that typifies the label's self styled shifty take on house and techno, offering a keen balance between improvisational electronics and a definite sense of meditativeness.
