cio d'or: polar q

There has always been a hugely stylised aesthetic to the deep, heady techno of Cio D'Or. It is distilled to perfection and despite being reduced to the core elements always manages to make an indelible mark. That's certainly the story once more here on a fantastically immersive new album for Kynant. Quiet artists exudes from each tune, with rubbery rhythms established way down low then only the most deft synth motif of fuzzy pad layered up top to hypnotic effect. It's music for the late hours to get fully lost in and despite the serious nature, itoa s subtly uplifting effect overall.
