mike parker: transgression & punishment

Balans welcomes the mythic Mike Parker for his debut on the label, a four-track EP exemplifying his abstract style of eccentric analog resonance. "Transgression and Punishment" is characteristic of Parker's classic fluctuating rhythms; the hypnotic, driving "Smoke from Burning Fields" conversely opens with a solid, striking bassline highly suitable for a damp and dark dancefloor. "The Freezing Process" dives deep into the unknown where frequencies, submerged underwater, travel through the unfamiliar depths of the deep dark sea. "The Midnight Zone" launches into ceaseless high-pitched oscillations, with a marching beat propelling the mind into a mesmerized state.
