CLAUDIO PRC Vinilo y CD

Review: Moving further away from the more direct techno sound he established as part of The Gods Planet, Claudio Prc has shaped out his 012 platform as an engrossing exploration of more experimental realms, even when strapped to snaking 4/4 rhythms. On this latest release, he's left percussion behind altogether in pursuit of an expansive two-part ambient suite which was originally performed at Up To Date festival in Poland last year. Clocking in at 25 minutes on each side, this is a meandering, engrossing journey which evokes the titular (Sardinian) waves Prc takes his inspiration from.

Review: Here is the third and final chapter of the 'Systema Naturae' series on Berlin-based 012, with fresh deep techno visions from newcomers such as Daniel(i) from Belgium (Whispering Signals) who ventures into foreboding and murky territory on the off-kilter journey of 'Carabus', and there's the return of Greek producer Alex Tomb who gets into some hypnotic minimal techno on 'Paradisaea'. Elsewhere, Leipzig-based Kontinum pushes into full mental overdrive on the strobing cut 'Octandria' and finally you have the collaboration between Mary Yuzovskaya and label head Claudio PRC titled 'Marmor' which perfectly nails that ethereal Sound Of Rome vibe.
