PERA STA ORI Vinyl & CDs

Review: Pera Sta Ori's Hix Hax EP on To Pikap Records is a nostalgic nod to the 90s rave scene, reimagined with modern production finesse. Across four tracks, the EP delivers furious breakbeat manipulation, pitched vocal samples, and heavy bass, reminiscent of old school jungle vibes. Each track is crafted for the dancefloor, blending classic elements with contemporary techniques to create an electrifying atmosphere. With its seamless fusion of past and present, Hix Hax EP offers a thrilling four tracks worth of rave culture, sure to impress both veteran ravers and newcomers alike.

Review: Brighton imprint Furthur Electronix continues full steam ahead with its prolific output this year, and it's a big week for them. Alongside a great EP by Aussie Lou Karsh, we have this new one by Greek producer George Kontogiannidis aka Pera Sta Ori, who has racked up some impressive releases thus far on Musar, Brokntoys and Yellow Machines. As on previous works, the Sick Apian EP further explores Kontogiannidis' love of classic UK rave sounds. For instance A side cut 'Antio Zoi (TGRCCC)' utilises pitch shifted hardcore breaks underpinned by a dystopian electro atmosphere. Over on the flip, its '95 all over again on the breakneck junglist stepper 'Xypna' followed by the complex and hypnotic riddims of 'KodS0520 Fyllorroo'.
