JS 001CD
|
A name who will be familiar to fans and collectors of the finest dub-techno and Basic Channel-esque sonics, Manchester's mysterious J.S. Zeiter (aka JS) has quietly released a formidable array of beautifully crafted deep techno over the last 15 years. A handful of timeless cuts, which fetch crazy prices on the second hand market. Here for the first time is an exclusive CD-only collection of the sought after early releases, tracks from rare 12 inches released in the late '90s on the JS label. Limited edition of 300 copies.

MCMLXV 001EP
|
"Two storming new tracks arrive courtesy of J.S. Zeiter on this new MCMLXV 12". Already finding big favour with Michael Mayer and the Kompakt cognoscenti amongst others, this is definitely one to watch -- both epics ready made for the outdoors season and filled with enough darkness for the warehouse. The opening cut 'Switch' sets the record straight in the first few bars, crisp percussion and a staunch synth set the groove alight, all topped with mechanoid handclaps and some scintillating, melodic work. Using repetition as the starting point, Mr Zeiter constructs lengthy, subtly edited tracks -- staying trenchantly within the boundaries of techno, each deep groove is lovingly fashioned for an outstanding, classic feel and pure incendiary dancefloor potential. The melodic synths that appear and fade throughout the track are just one facet of the deep production, hinting at chasmic depths and disguising the amount of considered editing within the track. Flip over for the huge cut that is 'Motion_Sickness', a glass-like arpeggiated melody modulates over the beats and creates a vibe with unmistakeable shades of Maurizio, a deep techno number with again that classic vibe, and a huge floor potential that explains the appeal to ravers everywhere. Top shelf tech-shizznizz."
