Vilchezz – Odyssey EP

To Rotterdam's Planet Rhythm comes rising producer Vilchezz with a Homeric white label hardcore techno release, one which really pushes the boat out in terms of what could potentially be classified under the name. Hoisting an impossible bridge somewhere between genre peninsulas of speed garage and hard techno, 'Sunken In Robus' and 'Supra' achieve a difficult-to-achieve contrast of light and heavy, one that might otherwise not work without the hyper-minimal textures otherwise indulged. The titular and star track 'Odyssey' marks a return to vibey 4x4 techno form, though it is no less arresting; so does 'Fiebre', concluding the EP on an experimental industri-stratospheric number with which we might start our day right.
