Psssh Vinyl & CDs

Review: Dauwd's Psssh imprint makes a welcome return with a superb debut release from Zadeh. His fresh take on techno is built on high-octane, percussive, and psychedelic drum grooves that are infused with sounds taken from an Iranian-infused sound palette. 'Payam' is supple and tightly woven, a rhythmic bubbler that cannot fail to lock you in. The dub is possibly even more effective. 'Koobkoobideh' then comes in three versions. The first is dubby, syncopated, detailed with whistles and drum fills, traditional percussion and plenty more but never sounds overloaded or chaotic. It's a ritualistic dance that sounds like little else.
