Never satisfied with following the status quo, Ukrainian imprint Modeight is back with their 7th release, full of inspiring and experimental sounds.This installment falls to Romanian artists Paul K & Incolor, who combine sonic forces on the stunning “Policolor” EP.

Each producer serve up a signature cuts of their own design, with Incolor opening proceedings with “Dacia1300 Goes In Space”, a low slung, slow burning groove that glides with effortless grace. It’s meandering atmospheric tones eliciting a positively out of body feeling.

Next up Paul K delivers a rhythmically fluid roller in “Shadowing”, a cut that’s peppered with warped glitches and bleepy artefacts. Its textured, organic feel captures you instantly, folding you into its insatiable groove.

The real cherry however appears on the B-side, as both talents meld their respective sounds to form the darkly skewed long-player “Kalor”. A sub fuelled bass line drives a heavy set minimalist beat. Gritty electronics fizz and pop creating a wickedly dissonant atmosphere, as rasped vocals interject throughout.

This next release from Modeight will certainly prick ears on global dance floors, proving once again that the label is pushing the boundaries of minimal techno into unknown territory.
