alek s: neverending

Alek S returns to the mothership with his third full EP, dropping just in time for the label's third birthday. "Consciousness Outline" lays the groundwork with a solid slice of punchy techno. Featuring a minimal array of elements, it's a gradual build-up of a powerful groove. Roberto Clementi takes on remix duties, revamping "Consciousness Outline" into a cavernous techno affair. "Penny Drop" dives in with a spacious loop, which keeps center-stage throughout -- airy with ample pads and a loose, gripping melody. "Neverending" rounds the EP off in an atmospheric, upbeat fashion -- ascending synth pads and electrifying percussion.
