Previously Unreleased EP 4 vinyl

Yes, yes. Here's the fourth chapter of Trevor Jackson's Playgroup series, his alias that dates back to the early '00s when house, electro and techno were being mashed up without too many concerns over genres, subgenres or categories. "What's Happening", for example, takes the best from all three strains of dance music, where a metallic percussion groove pulls together a sea of washed-out atmospherics that and slow-burning dub bass tones; "Shadowplay Dub#2", as the game suggests, is an industrial dub stepper in a similar kind of style to the African Head Charge material on On-U Sound, and "Total Collapse" breaks the acid gear out in this shimmering techno abstraction with distinct cold waves running through all of it. Warmly recommended unreleased material, right here.
