Review: Almost every 21st century techno fan likely knows about or has experienced an identity crisis at some point, if not for the sheer fact of the music's inherently destabilising quality. But Jsprv35 dares to go further with the concept, likening human identity to sheer mechanistic function. The 'Identity Malfunction' EP is the logical result of this philosophy, with brooding titles like 'Cybotronik' and 'Science' fast-tracking heller electro and breaks to the robot ears of us lossless techno fan clones. The title track is obviously the glitching highlight; we can't tell if that's a strained robot voice sandwiched between the impacts, or mere the electric gargling of corrupt quantum circuitry, but we also love that we can't tell.
Review: JSPRV35 delivers a powerhouse of tribal techno, helping to solidify Planet Rhythm's reputation further for percussive excellence. Side-1 opens with 'Pulse', a high-energy tribal track that masterfully blends addictive loops with relentless beats, perfect for igniting a dancefloor. The title track, 'Robotika,' shifts gears with its alien, sci-fi textures, crafting an otherworldly vibe. Side-2 ups the intensity with 'Madafaka', a wickedly hard techno banger that packs a punch with its raw power and unyielding drive. Closing out the EP, 'Practik' channels the loopy brilliance of icons like Ignition Technician, Glenn Wilson and Hardcell with hypnotic rhythms and expertly layered production. A thrilling journey through the darker, tribal side of techno, offering both technical precision and unrelenting energy.
