kobosil: 105

Kobosil offers four new uncompromising techno club tools. While all cuts on the 105 release share filthy, stone-cold, elemental rhythms -- pounding, energetic and hypnotic 4/4 kick drum slaps -- the devil is, like with all Kobosil productions, in the aesthetic details. "40000 L" uses gargling synth patterns and howling horns to dramatic effect; "Bei Nacht H (178)" contrasts the kick with a harsh, tinny drumbeat and menacing melody pad, creating a nightmarish vibe. "Backmask N" offers heavily alienated vocal samples alongside rave-reminiscing synth stabs and staggered hi-hat percussion. "Derange" closes with grainy drone echoes and throbbing, sizzling synth pulses.
