Italy’s LATHE is the next artist to drop on Ben Sims’ Symbolism imprint with an EP of singular, techno barnstormers entitled ‘Code EP’.

Having notched up EPs from Hemka, Rebecca Del Piane and Linear Search in the past few months, Sims’ Symbolism imprint is as vital as ever for fans of modern techno informed by the genre's founding sounds. On 'Code EP’, LATHE, who has previously appeared on the likes of Be As One and One Edge Society, delivers a release that combines raw power and crisply machined funk with distinct flair.

Whether the tripping melody of the title track, the playful resonance of ‘Aprà Climb’, the insistent on-the-one groove of ‘Formant Trip’ or the skittering, percussive rattle of ‘Oscillation’, each track here has earned its place on what is a superb EP.
