eduardo de la calle: anima animus

Spanish DJ and producer Eduardo de la Calle presents the refined techno of Anima Animus, following stellar releases on Cadenza, Mule Musiq, Hivern Discs, Be as One, and Nonplus. Drawing inspiration from Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Jung's concept of the anima and animus, "Anima Animus" marries arpeggiated synths and melodic chords with a soft kick and tantalizing hats for a slick piece of reflective techno alive with melody and groove. On "North Pole," subaquatic bass and searing, melancholic strings play out over a steady, mechanical beat, recalling the Detroit masters as well as the European new wave sounds that influenced them.
