Life In Patterns Germany Vinyl & CDs

Review: Paris' Ferdinger sends a welcome affirmation our way with 'Keep Going', his latest five-track EP for Life In Patterns. The label owner and producer nails his imprint's intended colourful yet energetic sound here, riffing of classic soundbites with clever titular puns that give rise to phat, memorable tunage: 'An Order To Dance' might as well qualify as an NWO, with it transitional delays and muted voxxes, while 'High Voltage' conveys the biting feel of being shocked out of one's wits by an exposed wire whose output voltage lies just below fatal. Closer 'Mind At Ease' rounds off on a surprise breakbeat dream, making for the EP's paradoxically deep peak.
