Release Notes:
A veteran of numerous notable labels inlcuding V2, Transmat,
Shitkatapult, Force Tracks, and Fiji Recordings, Sweden's Hakan Lidbo
is known for devastating minimal house tracks with a distinctive
Stockholm sound. For "The Tic-Tac Tactic", Lidbo moves to Spectral for
his second release as The Vanisher, dropping the thickest, deepest acid
funk track you'll hear this side of an old-school Manchester warehouse
party.
Riding a deceptively relaxed pace adorned with handclaps and syncopated
timbales, "The Tic-Tac Tactic" breaks into an utterly irresistable
burbling bass synth line. Vocal samples and ethereal waves of melody
gradually appear, making for an altogether enveloping sound,
surprisingly rich with immersing detail. Osborne's "Simulacrum Mix"
infuses the track distinctly more upbeat, house sound that takes pieces
of the title track and places them into the context of staccato
melodies and a mutating bassline. The other B-side, "Toothpaste", keeps
the pace steady with snippets of groans and feedback while other
percussive elements and notably dark synthesizers push the track deeper
and deeper. This release will surely make its way into the repertoire
of any DJ with a taste for the immensely powerful sound of Sweden.
