M SYNC vinyl

Leipzig producer Tim Schlockermann has yet to really make a name for himself, though his previous outings - most notably a solid EP of house/techno fusions on Kaizenrecordsberlin - have suggested a breakthrough 12" might be just around the corner. Whether this four-tracker on Elephant Moon is that release remains to be seen, but there's certainly plenty here to set the pulse racing. Check for example title track "M Sync", a deliciously funk-fuelled deep techno roller that makes use of squelchy acid bass and some deliciously glassy-eyed melodic motifs, and the hazy, summery and warm deep electro shuffle of "Solidification Point". He adds classic deep house warmth to a bouncy tech-house beat on "High Purity", while closing cut "Holy Waters (Extended DJ Mix)" is deliciously sparse and spaced-out.
