After the fantastic Wonderkidd 12" released on Nonplus earlier this year, Lowtec returns to the label with another fine EP of shuffling deep house. If the previous 12" seemed to explore the darker corners of his creaking brand of house music, then "Coldred" which dominates the A-Side is somewhat lighter by comparison. Built around a simple one note bassline and regular handclap, it is nevertheless devastating, especially when its rippling arpeggio begins at the half way point. On the flip "Darrynane" is a 100bpm jam with a killer organ melody bubbling beneath the surface and a chord sequence that brings warmth to the heavily mechanical percussive tics, while closing proceedings "Twizel" brings things back up to 120, for a another deep groover which takes things back into the darkness, with a soft bassline swathed in surreal and alienating synth melodies that can only be described as Lynchian.
