A Made Up Sound

After its first release Rework b/w Closer moved bass cadets and techno heads alike, the label returns with some fearless offbeat pressure in round two. A-side Sun touch ain’t about cherishing the first sunshine in springtime – rather like a fierce ray of light hitting you right in the eye, darkening everything for a moment. Killer broken beats, rumbling subs and a gloomy atmosphere run the program until a nasty acid line takes over and funks things up even further. Drain on the flip continues where Closer (AMS01) left off, the warm synth blanket this time appearing as a melancholic drone sequence over beats syncopated to the max. Bonus cut Untitled is the 2006 original of a tune bass music heads will be familiar with by now... beats from the machines, heartfelt lfo’d chords and arpeggiated bleeps round off this uncompromising twelve.
