Release Note ......::
As the dynamic track titles suggest, Dave Angel wanted to go all out Techno for
his new release for John DigweedÆs Bedrock. ôPowerö and ôVenomö are two
monumental tracks to mark another supreme return to the label from the
Godfather of the UKÆs Techno scene. Knowing that John is a fan of that classic
303 bassline / acid sound and had previously given a lot of support to his
ôTomahawkö track from the ôVoodoo EPö (Beddigi47), Dave felt it was time to
delve deeply into the favourite toys that heÆs been working creatively for the
last couple of years - the TR-8 and TB-3 machines from the new Roland Aira
Range, for this latest offering. The distinctly weighty intro to ôPowerö,
overlaid with the snap and hiss of perfect percussive hits, builds and builds
with subtle ease via a simmering, bubbling analogue throb, sparse melodic
flourishes and a supremely unhurried, teasing arrangement. The end result is a
super-fuelled, energetic, euphoric masterclass of a track. Meanwhile, the
speedy, hissing, bounce of ôVenomö is also an instant winning formula, with
layered, looping melodic hooks building all the trackÆs elements into a
hip-swinging, funked-up monster. Both of these exceptional tracks demonstrate
exactly why Dave remains such a driving force today, having evolved and matured
stylistically over the years, since his early heart-stopping techno outings
more than 2 decades ago.
