JEROEN SEARCH Vinilo y CD

Review: Jeroen Search has got a signature sound that is all about stripped down techno to its bare components and layering them up into minimal productions that come alive with wiry synths and plenty of FX. 'Light Spinner' opens up here with a real sense of paranoia in the bleeping sonar pulse and twisted drums. 'Six Requests' is even quicker and more direct with its oversized hi-hats and malfunctioning synth circuitry. Two flip side cuts bring mind melting acid manipulations and dubbed-out, low key and linear techno workouts. An essential outing as ever from the always fresh studio of Search.

Review: Dutch label Lazy Reflex Complex is making its grand entrance into the music scene with an exciting debut release. The label's founder, 543ff, has teamed up with the esteemed Jeroen Search for a captivating split EP that promises to take listeners on an otherworldly journey. This EP showcases a diverse range of sounds, from self-described high-tech mantras ('Fruitfly Psychosis'/'Nerve Stimulation') to deep ambient journeys ('Favor') and disquieting soundscapes ('Tension').
