TH Tar Hallow Netherlands Vinilo y CD

Review: JSPRV35's TAR 024 offers four tracks of underground grooves, delivering an intense and aggressive techno sound. Released by Tar Hallow Netherlands, this record showcases a raw and unfiltered approach to the genre. Side-1 starts off with 'Echo,' characterised by its heavy techno beats and fast percussion. The relentless energy and old-school rave vibe transport listeners straight to a warehouse party. Following is 'Fear,' a track reminiscent of the 90s style techno, drawing comparisons to the sounds of Surgeon or Regis. On Side 2, 'Gras' captivates with its addictive, tribal beats, creating a rhythmic and engaging atmosphere. The EP concludes with 'Trapped,' a hard-rolling track that dives deep into subterranean underground techno. TAR 024 by JSPRV35 stands out for its unyielding and authentic techno sound while the blend of heavy beats, tribal rhythms and old school influences ensures a powerful listening.

Review: No-nonsense fast techno jank from the Netherlands' Jsprv35. 'Tar V35' could take its name from anything from a newly discovered exoplanet to an industrial strength vacuum cleaner at the design and prototyping stage; clearly, it's not the nominal content but the sonic form that this record takes that makes it so beguiling. 'Pacific', 'Pimp', 'Prolix' and 'Retry' are like murderous factor-colossi gone rogue; their many-limbed, many-belted extensions firing off in all directions as they slowly, but repetitiously and surely gain sentience. Only the tricksy final track is any let-up, although even it functions as a worthy underfloor-heater in its own right.
