Partisan UK Vinyl & CDs

Review: The fourth release on Partisan is something of an epic, with German producer Segej Kaschawar serving up nine tracks over two solid slabs of wax. There's much to admire throughout, from the dark web-goes-tech-house throb of opener "Resonate" and funk-fuelled late night dancefloor hustle of "Zero Gravity", to the Drexciyan electro bounce of "Orbitbass" and the low-slung shuffle of "Lakeside Trouble", where spacey motifs and wonky electronics cluster around a swinging, broken techno groove. Also worth checking is the pitched-down, acid-flecked IDM psychedelia of closer "D3H" and the angular, UK garage-influenced deepness of "Radical Ambient" (which is so radical that it's not ambient at all).
