Mr. G, Mr G – BREED 02 [Breed Records]
While oddly credited twice on both tracks, Mr. G delivers a fantastic example of that Berlin techno/tech house sound I absolutely love with his release BREED 02. Each track is dark, bass heavy, and so very very cool and funky to a point where you would have no option but to dance to it. Free Fall is a sparse, and heavy sounding track that focuses on the balance of bass and percussion. The bass-line pumps through your speakers in a fantastic way and has a great energy to it. That being said, it can get a bit repetitive in its minimalism and will not hold many ears outside of a club scene for very long. Still, it is a great track and an energetic, yet dark piece of music for DJs everywhere. Crab Jerk is a bit lighter and adds one more melodic element to it by using other instruments. The bass line sinks lower in the mix and range, and is taken over a bit by synths that give the track a bit of a lift. The synth stabs sound great with the reverb, and i like how the sound echoes through the room. It gives the track a cool surround-sound feeling.
This is a great release. Give it a listen and see if you like it, but I would recommend it to any techno or tech house fans out there.
