Juan Sanchez

Format returns with another 4-track slice of techno from the label's founder, Juan Sanchez, including a remix by lauded US producer Mike Parker.

The EP opens with Qx02, a jacking techno track built on gritty synth swirls and an acidy pulse. Following up, Mike delivers a much darker rework with a menacing kick drum as its engine. The EP's title track Dans Ta Tete pumps up the tempo, delivering a fast-paced synth-driven stomper. Things close off with Plural, on which Juan explores the more dubbier sides of techno across lush and warm ambient chords.
