stephen brown: power factor

Copenhagen's Echocord Colour returns with Stephen Brown's Power Factor EP, featuring three originals from the UK techno stalwart. Up first on the release is "Sandtext", a stripped-back dubbed-out opening cut fueled by a robust kick and minute percussive hits running alongside a sturdy sub bass drive and spiraling dub stabs before "Wet" takes things even deeper via muted kicks, shuffling shakers, and delayed synth chords. "Back Stroke" then rounds out the release with an amalgamation of airy reverberated stab hits, rumbling low-end pulsations, and a thunderous kick drum to once again create an understated, hypnotic composition.
