After debuting on Deeply Rooted last year with the ingeniously titled EP 1, French producer Marcelus serves further notice of his burgeoning talent for twisted raw techno rattlers with a sequel for the label. Equally simplistic in its titular leanings EP 2 begins in stomping fashion with the naturally acidic tones of "Sulfuric", with the sort of heavy flourishes throughout that can only elicit gleeful responses. This contrasts nicely with the rumbling heads down vibe of "Shape" which is all reverberant metallic textures cascading around the depths of the gloopy rhythms. Special mention for how Marcelus teases out those vocals! Flip over for the high level intensity of "Life Cycle" and the relentless alien rattle of "Mutation". Do check!
