Multiplo vinyl

Uniting the steely dance floor focus of Tony Scott and Sabatini's immersive, dub-soaked textures was a masterstroke on Motoguzzi's part. It's no surprise then that both versions of "Multiplo" are radically different, or that they both stamp each producer's unique vision of techno. Edit Select's take is a heavy affair that never veers into senselessly banging sounds. Instead, he lays down a steely rhythm, hissing percussion and waves of dub-soaked effects. On Sabatini's version, the dub influence isn't far away, but comes to the surface in a different manner. Lithe back beats act as the backdrop for multi-layered chords and bleeps that gradually emerge from the depths of Sabatini's understated but powerful arrangement.
