Cestrian

Cestrian (aka Ali Renault) lands on Mechatronica for the Berlin label's 10th release with a remarkably wide electro-driven EP, exploring different rims of the genre from the transporting melodic peripheries and weirder edges, to the raw core. Two hypnotizing journeys in ''Gradients'' and ''Rake & Pikel'' make up the A-side along with the frenzied styles of ''Cat Strain''. ''Speak & Spell'' blasts open the flip with an anthemic groove and potent basslines, before ''The Weir'' rounds off the EP in heavy and atmospheric fashion, concluding an essential electro record - for the mind and for the floor.
