:::::::::
Not only is First Aid Course notable for being the :::::::::
inaugural release from Italy's Persistencebit, it also :::::::::
showcases a more expansive and dance-based sound from Andy :::::::::
Vaz, in contrast to the self-imposed minimalistic style :::::::::
that runs throughout the Sound_Variation series. All such :::::::::
traits emerge on the opener, "-6-6 [re-] visited", but if, :::::::::
as the title suggests, Andy's Sound_Variation 6-6 has been :::::::::
used as source material, here it is radically transformed, :::::::::
it's up-tempo swing in stark contrast to the more :::::::::
deliberate pace of the original. The mid-tempo 4/4 of :::::::::
"First Aid Course" is deepened by phantom chords, electro :::::::::
bass lines, and a hi-hat pattern that nicely offsets the :::::::::
regulated pulse of the bass drum. Again Vaz adds layer :::::::::
upon layer to make the piece dense and intricate without :::::::::
ever sacrificing its fundamental propulsiveness. :::::::::
"Inscrutable Insects" is an apt title, given the querulous :::::::::
electronic noises and syncopated percussion patterns that :::::::::
flutter about. Here, as well as on the concluding "Dark :::::::::
Inclination", layered patterns interweave while a bass :::::::::
drum pulse propels the piece forward. Ultimately, what :::::::::
most distinguishes First Aid Course is the accomplished :::::::::
manner by which it seamlessly marries the exuberance and :::::::::
rhythmic complexity of African music with the heavier and :::::::::
more straightforward propulsion of minimal techno. :::::::::

:::::..
As release upon release emerges, we will continue to bring you only :::::.
the best in electronic music! We focus equally on both style and ::::::
quality, and if your reading our info, you already know that. We're ::::::
now in our fifth year, and we feel pretty confident about the work ::::::
we do. We have brought music to the masses, and in doing so ::::::
hopefully made their lives that much better. For us, that is what ::::::
its all about, and thats what keeps us going. ::::::
::::::
We purchase records and rip them so other people can hear the tracks ::::::
and decide if they want to buy! We have paid for our records and ::::::
think you should also, if you do not subscribe to this, you are part ::::::
of the problem. So if you like a release please buy it. Don't be a ::::::
skanky bitch about the price, just pay it! In doing so, you are ::::::
supporting what we all love so much. We sleep good at night cause we ::::::
support the artists that produces electronic music, without whom we ::::::
wouldn't have so much material to enjoy. We know some releases are ::::::
nearly impossible to find, so buy something else you like instead :D ::::::
::::::
The electronic music scene ain't like the pop and rock scene. Where ::::::
fans pays Euro100 for a ticket to a concert! It's smaller and ::::::
artists rely on units sold. Since you probably downloaded this ::::::
release and think you can have it for free -- you're wrong. That ::::::
mindset is killing the artists and the scene. Its simple, support ::::::
the people who support you, musically. ::::::
::::::
We at TechnoRulez are adamant about any of releases being posted in ::::::
public scene dupingchans and prechans! Please respect that, and ::::::
remove our releases from the db's. We insist that the scene must be ::::::
kept underground, and if the clueless lamers using such chans and ::::::
websites cant comply with the terms, you will see alot less of us. ::::::
That doesn't mean we will slow down, but we will take action to keep ::::::
our releases internal or a very limited spread. It is simply ::::::
unacceptable to post scene related info on *any* public source at ::::::
*any* time. Use your head. ::::::
::::::
In the words of a Luke Slater track, "Lets get together" and make ::::::
the scene a better place for all of us! keep the distance from ::::::
the n00bs, and unite more to keep the few bad apples from ruining ::::::
our business! ::::::
::::::
As always, cheers! ::::::
