Label: 240 Volts
Genre: MINIMAL / DANCEFLOOR

Fine three way single of sophisticated Tech-House pop and minimal grooves. Richard Davis' 'The Blue' is the obvious standout cut, layering fragile vocals over tender keys and crisp, shuffling Kompakt-style House rhythm to luxurious effect. Flipside, Ben Verden contributes the ethereal, deeper electro-house of 'In' and Blufarm serves the spherical, aquatic House of 'Not Poor'. Quality pressing, primed for the connoisseurs.

240 Volts Presents Serieculture 001 E.P
Label: 240 Volts
Genre: MINIMAL / DANCEFLOOR
Format: Digital Download
Released: Jun 2009
Catalogue Number: VOLT014
Five very generously proportioned cuts from 240 Volts, navigating smooth, minimal house dynamics. Blu Farm's dub-techno cut 'Inside' gets the EP underway; it's a weighty production but there's also a certain silkiness to it all, ensuring a certain ambiguity to it all. Ben Vedren's 'Brick Lane' prompts yet more pleasing results thanks to a crisp handle on micro-funk textures and some neat, rolling beats, but Swayzak dominate the EP with their quarter-hour epic, finding them in top form with a discerningly reduced sound palette.
