Owain's Lagoon EP vinyl

The typically packed Owain's Lagoon EP marks the final chapter in Crow Castle Cuts hugely enjoyable series of twelve inch releases which have touched on all corners of the techno and house spectrum. Luv Jam maintains his 100% appearance record on the series, opening up with "Turnipple" a sublime dusty house production that sets the tone nicely, with Schmitt Finger's "Bethsedia Bison" offering slightly more punch whilst still resolutely deep in its approach. "Track 3" and it's numerical friend on the flip offer little more than prodigious sampling opportunities courtesy of Glynn Geroig, and proceedings take a typical turn for the weird from here. Mr Tophat & Adam Stromstedt go star gazing on the expansive analogue cosmiche of "Tingeling," whilst "Valley Crucis Radio Party" demonstrates Cy in equally esoteric mood. Those saddened by this end of an era will no doubt be emboldened by the accompanying sheet of A4 that hints the Crow Castle Cuts journey will appear soon on a different path set for Knaresborough, of all places.
