At daybreak the four dark walls reveal their windows – the early morning light glows blue-grey onto the hot, wet dancefloor. This time feels tinged with death; the witching hour past and her spells since enacted. I gaze around the party, swaddled in soft light, the number of bodies is thinned to reveal the fleshy nucleus of dancers and freaks. In these rank depths, we feel God. The party was going before I arrived and it’ll be going after I leave – it is endless in tomorrow's simple, blue light. These four tracks are my contributions to the endlessness, my additions to the kick drum’s torrential stream.

Piner is the alias of White Owl Records co-founder Jack Cavenaugh. Under this moniker he produces inventive body-music in between hard- and soft-wares. His second EP on the label, titled “Daybreak”, offers four vibrant, focused club tracks. Piner manifests a refined palette drawn from his time spent on dancefloors. The title track opens up a bright landscape of seductive harmonics and unfolding atmospheres, spiraling with a dark yet hopeful tone. “Implicit Messages” throbs with distorted drums while off-kilter synthetic artifacts unfold hypnotically. The momentum increases with “Doors to Nowhere”, in which a sparse lead grounds a swell of agitated percussion and textures. The final track, “Godless”, balances reflective loops which modulate behind jacking drums. Piner’s follow-up EP injects left-field sound design practices and syncopated percussive riffs into the skeleton of propulsive, dissociative techno.
