epi centrum: raw

Epi Centrum is Jurek Przezdziecki, who you may be familiar with thanks to his numerous releases on labels like Cocoon, Affin and Synewave. The aptly titled 'Raw' is a complex layering of a burly bassline, meeting a distant vocal sample amidst the electronic bleeps and beats that collide over one another creates a unique and uncompromising sound. The release also boasts first-rate remixes by two of techno's current heroes. Function (Dave Sumner) of Downwards / Sandwell District fame turns in a dark and dappled version that's stamped with claps and a driving beat, while LA's Audio Injection from Droid Behaviour turns up the bass and picks up the pace for his west coast butt-shaking rendition.
