Description
Arbilla drops The Rise EP on Xistence Records, bridging the trans-Atlantic techno line between the producers home city of Dublin, and the birthplace of techno: Detroit.
The original version of Resilience is ultimately indebted to the Motor City sound, with slightly reminisce of the early Octave One sound with a great mixture of percussion, classy bassline, nice layering of textures and melodies and some ear-catching production tropes.
Adding to the Detroitian credentials, Gerald Mitchell (of Underground Resistance / Los Hermanos fame) is on hand with a classy retouch, stripped back with elegant drum work, linked together by a uplifting synth pattern.
Sunset To Sunrise, meanwhile, harks back to that classic Carl Craig sound; a delightful piece of haunting, moody techno, wrought with tension and futurism.
Meteoric Rise concludes and hits that Underground Resistance / Red Planet theme with perfection. Complex rhythms, advanced synth patches and uncontainable tribal energy should have every listener totally enthralled.
STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: Fresh new Detroit techno – only it’s been conjured up in the Emerald Isle! Arbilla faithfully hitting that Motor City seam of influence and even drafting in Detroit royalty Gerald Mitchell for a remix. Strong stuff indeed.
