The Third Room Vinyl & CDs

Review: This EP resonates with the stark beauty of nature's subterranean forces, aligning its sound with the stillness and weight of winter solstice. The release's four tracksi'Phyllite', 'Blueschist', 'Tactite' and 'Slate'ioffer raw, hypnotic techno built from minimal elements, each evolving into dynamic, narrative-driven compositions. 'Phyllite' opens with steady drive and layered textures, setting a brooding tone. 'Blueschist' intensifies with deep, pulsating rhythms and a hypnotic groove that echoes natural transformation. 'Tactite' delivers a longer, more meditative exploration of energy and movement, while 'Slate' closes the EP with a balance of percussive heft and atmospheric depth, evoking the cold winds and dormant power beneath the earth. Released on T3R014, the EP's raw, deep and hypnotic approach is a tribute to Dold's compositional mastery. It's a compelling release for DJs and techno enthusiasts who appreciate minimalist elements evolving into profound, energetic soundscapes. A standout addition to the underground techno scene.
