Underrated yet undeterred & persistent, Richard Bevan and Joshua Doherty return with a fat gatefold double LP style job. I frikkin' loved their EP for B12 a fair while ago & now these talented cousins are back to slay your dancey face off with some more electroid breaks & wonky techno madness. The first track reminds me of the old Radioactive Man stuff which I still massively enjoy - all zinging squelchy low end & itchy breakbeat. Ant suggests there's some implicit garage flavas & nods towards the recent Landstrumm gear. They continue with panache, delving into classic 'Red' era Dave Clarke style techno, before reviving the head mashing zig-zag bass maneuvers for 'Mobile Mast'. I'm merely hinting at what this quality album brings to the table - it's a resolutely old-skool dancefloor appeasing effort with many classic electrotech/breaks styles explored. Banging, full-frontal party music with some absolutely solid, vibrant production that you could only expect from these talented old heads. They've been around the block a bit but there's absolutely tons of life in these daft pups (you gotta remain young and eager to be creating zinging floor munchers like this baby)
Following on from the “colours” series is the new album from Posthuman, with recent releases on B12 Records, Uncharted Audio, and Handsette picking up plaudits from Simian Mobile Disco, Andy Weatherall, Laurent Garnier, Dave Clarke, SLAM, Chris Coco, Rob Da Bank, DJ Snoop, and rave reviews in DJ Mag, Mixmag, and IDJ.
Planted firmly in the space between Mr Oizo and Modeselektor, with a serious nod to Red-era Dave Clarke, Syn Emergence is aimed directly at the dancefloor: from the twisted bassline of opener “Brickhead” and jacking techno / rave hybrid of Eruder” to the relentless stomp of “Stockholm Syndrome” and “Crone”, this album is a statement of intent from Posthuman: their strongest - and hardest - release to date.
Syn Emergence is the first full album release on Balkan Vinyl. In beautifully designed lush packaging on heavy card with matt print & UV spot-gloss text that shimmers in the light, and fully printed glossy inner sleeves, split across two editions – double picturedisc and double heavyweight vinyl, each with a CD enclosed in the sleeve.
