Side Piece EP vinyl

Having debuted on Opal Tapes with the stellar Body Issues cassette last year, and collaborated with Jahiliyya Fields as Inhalants for a queasy collection of techno jams of L.I.E.S., female monikered male producer Patricia joins the ranks of Spectral Sound with the Side Piece EP. Although not the most obvious candidate for a release on Spectral, Patricia's dubby take on techno makes sense, especially on "Drip Dawn", which sounds like classic Audion gone lo-fi. "Huldenhusan" is a much deeper house proposition, with the kind of blown-out kicks that recall Jamal Moss, while "Foie Gras" is a grotty yet understated piece of acid. Label regular JTC is also tapped up to provide his own "I-94 lick" of "Drip Dawn", lending the original a classic house sheen which is an undisputed highlight of a great release.
