Some Kind Of Strange vinyl

This being only the second Sequencias release of the year does confirm the NYC techno outpost has been somewhat quieter than usual, but their commitment to working with quality artists remains undimmed. Dcantu is of course Nation and Creme regular D'Marc Cantu, and the Ann Arbor native is no stranger to Sequencias having featured twice on the label before. Some Kind Of Strange is however Cantu's first full 12" for the label and granted the space, the artist has elected to lay down a pleasing range of sounds across the three tracks. The title track is Cantu weaving a spell of high octane cosmic techno from his vast array of machinery, whilst "A Space Age Function" dips into the same sort of star gazing rave Legowelt has been focussing on of late. A complete switch in mood is offered on final track "September", a sprawling beatless production that could easily be mistaken for Carpenter and Howarth in their pomp.
