NICK BERINGER Vinyl & CDs

Review: Nick Behringer has been quietly and competently been going about his business for a few years, somehow rather more under the radar than he deserves to be. From muscular garage tinged house to stripped back but funk laced techno, he is a master of making functional music that also has plenty of character. Here he goes for warehouse tackle laced with warped synths on opener "Practice" before serving up silky, woozy but heavyweight minimal on "Anima Silvae". "Take IX" finds him casting free into the cosmos, with trippy designs and eerie pads all making it a track as physical as it is cerebral.
