I reviewed Monolake's great 'Atlas' 12" a wee while ago so it seems a bit daft that I'm doing this new one too, especially since the A-side is a remix of said tune by T++ - one half of the core Monolake duo these days. I'm not one to complain though, especially when faced with dub techno royalty. His 'Atlas' version is a tasty example of how to do this shit properly - slicing up elements of the original and sticking it back together in a new formation which initially sounds like a whole new composition until you really try to single out and identify the building blocks. As with the original, it's quite a speedy number and its fleet-footed two-step will have dancefloors skipping no bother. Snappily titled new T++ track 'Test#10Seed_Bit' features some highly satisfying snare action, insistent minimal bass prods and a quality switcheroo in the middle as the track unravels on itself. Superb as always!mbalance is proud to release new music from Torsten Pröfrock aka T++. He is an active contributor to the Berlin music scene since his first releases
on Chain Reaction, and known for his work on the 2004 MONOLAKE Album Polygon Cities. More recently his releases on Shackleton's Skull Disco
label or on Appleblim's Apple Pips gained him well deserved attention.
Side A contains a T++ remix of the MONOLAKE track Atlas (ML-023), - a MONOLAKE track which has been described as 'breathtaking' by Resident
Advisor. Side B contains a classic T++ work, with deep and complex percussion embedded in pulsating soundscapes.
