Continuing the year strong, Figure is lining up the second release of Dutch newcomer Jancen. After his impressive label debut on FigureX45, the second part of his Inner Labyrinth EP draws from a variety of influences to display his refined image of modern techno. First off, "Dub Dissonance" sets the tone right with an immersive and heads-down track, determined synths stabbing away those layers of the mind. "F-Track" in contrast stands out with its deep swaying chords and beautiful dubby atmosphere, making for one stellar groove. On the flipside things get more intense as "Maze Chase" comes swirling all in colorful peak time arps. Straightforward and unrelenting, "Sassafras" closes the labyrinth with an unrelenting synth motif and captivating thump, turning the dial up to 10.

FIGURE X045EP
|
On Figure X45comes a new up and coming artist, Jancen. With only a handful releases under his belt, this promising young dutchman delivers immaculate productions that veer between the deep and the jacking, always powerful and driving but with a strong sense of groove pervading throughout. His opener "Quintessence" leans on the hypnotic side, distilling the effect of a mesmerizingly simple loop reduced to the beauty of its essential elements. Racking up the momentum is tightly bouncing "Elusive," riding a funky acid riff that transforms the track into one of those unexpected moments of raising the energy mid-set. On the B-side, Jancen showcases his talent of building mind-expanding dub-techno excursions, as the echoes of "Diminished Dub" roll out while even packing some proper propulsive percussion on top! Final track "Unattributed" takes listeners way down the rabbit hole into atmospheric trippy territory as searing hats pave the path ever further into the belly of the beast.
