This Society vinyl

This Society sees Florian Kupfer return to L.I.ES. faced with the conundrum that so many rising producers have to contend with; how to follow up what was one of last year's true crossover records in the shape of Lifetrax. Such was the power of that helium voiced B Side "Feelin", Kupfer's White Label debut for Ron the Don's LIES operation has been granted two represses on the main label - the most recent a EU edition remastered by Matt Colton! If you gripped Kupfer's contribution to the Funkysouls-baiting Russian Torrent Versions label, you'll not be surprised to find the German producer trading in a more hard-edged techno sound on the title track to This Society. No warbling Minnie Mouse vocals here, instead it's a weighty, crashing number worthy of Bunker, which contrasts nicely with the more musically framed "Resistors". Best of all however is the B Side cut "Reach Another System" which can best be described as a turbo charged MCDE.
