Rene Wise

Rene Wise takes the reins of legendary techno label Blueprint's 65th EP and it is a hard edge and late night menace form start to finish. Opener 'Shaman Whistle' has an eerie and haunting lead synth that has you peering deep into the arrangement and then 'Don't Care' offers a more funked up tech framework with punchy double kicks and scintillating glassy sound effects. There is plenty of hammer in the kicks of 'Frown Like Brown' as well as some tripped out synth motifs and closer 'Knock Motion' then strips things back to a chunky bit of muscular techno brilliance.
