AMOTIK Vinyl & CDs

Review: Now posted up in Berlin, UK producer Anil Chawla bka Amotik returns with a new three-tracker and it's only the 16th in his own now long-running racket, also named Amotik. Keeping rooted in restraint and rhythmic hypnosis, he's built his name on nuanced, endurance DJ sets and steady-state self-released 12"s. 'Tirasi', 'Chaurasi' and 'Pachasi' extend that thread, providing deeply textural, loop-driven pieces with subtly shifting momenta and a sensitive succour, also formally represented in the understated three-track form. Berlin's industrious spirit mixes with the UK's heavy, cloud-covered techno sound, proving Amotik hasn't sacrificed the precise affective brunt of the British Isles despite relocating to Germany in 2014.
