the micronaut: contrast

Contrast from Stefan Streck, aka The Micronaut, contains four tracks full of references to the past in view of the future. "Earlylate" will start raves somewhere in broad acres or in abandoned tunnels. It's a riot of emotion with an air horn. "Oldnew" is shuffle but different; almost like Kompakt wasn't from Cologne, but from London -- massive groove with obstacles. "Underover" sounds like James Holden was on a short trip in England in the beginning of the '90s, when basses still made you tremble. "Smallbig" is a bouncer with tremendous thoughtfulness -- A hymn for the late hours.
