The ever-impressive Pleasure Zone imprint welcome new producer Cntrl into their midst with a sassy twist on minimal techno as the label have been peddling now for the past year or so. "Track 1" on this EP rolls with the breakbeat formation that has made Pleasure Zone a distinctive label in the past, keeping the flow linear but the bass drops subby and surefooted, creating a perfect trip-out of a track. "Track 2" slips into a more wonky groove with some found sounds peppering a loping house beat while rubbery synth swells float around the mix. On the flip both "Track 3" and "Track 4" get into more stripped down territory with sparse rhythms and subtle sound design for the more minimally minded out there.
