03) (06:56) Tactics (Barking Dogs Remix)
Nick Woolfson's Teng imprint drops, 'Tactics', this April by German producer Mias
Void,backed with a remix from The Barking Dogs.
Mias Void, better known in the industry as Matthias Vogt, has been producing
infectious housegrooves for quite some time now, with releases for labels such as,
Chicago's Large Music and LazyDays Recordings. Here Vogt pushes into new territories
under his new Mias Void guise, Matthiassees this alias as a chance to express a new,
more experimental side of his productions, yet keepingthe MV initials to maintain a
lock between the distinctions. With releases pinned down for Polytone, Lo:Rise and
Fullbarr already, this new sound will undoubtedly be as well received as his deeper
explorations.
The release opens with title track 'Tactics' here, a dubbed-out, ethereal Techno cut,
soaked in subtleintricacies and grit. Void keeps the tempo low but energy high, as
earth-shattering drums paint thebigger picture, soft, evolving pads ease in to the
record, steadily blooming before the latter stages seethings stripped to a raw drum
and bass driven state.
'Believer' steps up next, a punchy analogue workout, driven by weighty drums,
hypnotic arp-lines andsharp percussive elements. Void rides out the hooky arpeggiated
groove throughout the tracks nearseven-minute duration, easing in a variety of
cosseting pad lines, bright synth stabs and processedorgans to meander around the
foundations beautifully.
To close the release Teng have enlisted the services of Gomma artists, The Barking
Dogs on remixduties. The Italian duo reshape 'Tactics' into a skippy, broken-beat
interpretation with their dustyanalogue production style. The mix is tastefully
contrasting to the original and adds a further appeal toan already phenomenal
release. The mix has a live feel throughout as the dynamics consistently falterand
elements creep in and out sporadically.
As expected from the fledgling Teng imprint, this is yet another intelligent
electronic music release.
