New label Talahachi introduce themselves with this sumptuous four track sampler of melodic techno and deep house. Up first, John Beltran opens a crystaline music-box on 'Pisces', packing the deep grooves with fragile harmonies and immersive calm. Propelled towards the early (or very late) dancefloor by an insistent beat and jazzy rides. Glasgow's Stephen Lopkin makes his vinyl debut with the cinematic techno of 'Rannoch Moor', a widescreen nightdrive through deserted countryside towards the northern lights. Veteran London dancer and producer Sir Lord Comixx makes his latest vinyl appearance with 'Beyond Reach'. This restrained exploration of breakbeat techno and tone bank manipulation caresses your senses with polyrhythmic sequences and warm synthesis. Lastly, Invitation Au Voyage delivers the brooding sci fi techno of 'Iridium', splicing the pulsing heart of Drexciyan electro with the menacing synths of Carpenter for a tense and pensive late night mood.
