UYX 003EP
|
Pascal Hetzel returns after rockin' floors with his 2014 debut EP Feel That Beat (UYX 002EP). "Divisions (Downstairs)" relies on a significant bass-drum punch and a simple but effective arrangement of dubbed out, subaquatic stabs. "Divisions (Upstairs)" is softened and more uplifting, balanced on the thin line between tech house and classic stab-heavy house. Tuff City Kids (Gerd Janson and Phillip Lauer) bow down to the intensity of early hardcore days with a jackhammer of a rework, a serious amalgamation of a reverb-heavy foundation, old school sawtooth signals, dark and slightly filtered signature stabs, and twisted breakbeat abuse.

UYX 002EP
|
With the second serving in their underground sidekick UYX series, Upon You presents Pascal Hetzel. The title-track introduces Hetzel's love for all things jacking, focusing on raw, pretty, unprocessed percussion elements, loads of highly effective filter action for all lovers of the wildpitch era, and male vocals embracing the vibe of a top-notch night out. "The Brute 909" features heavily pumping drum patterns and hi-hats as sharp as knives. "Something Happens" is a dark and hypnotic tune, riding a totally stripped-down vibe before a truly epic break changes things rapidly. Classy strings and clubby stabs with an aura of polished chrome emerge, recalling a proper techno club feel.
