DESCRIPTION: Developer / Stanislav Tolkachev - Observance Label : Inkblots [INKBLOTS01] Released : May 2014 Genre : Electronic Style : Techno
In terms of debut releases for a techno label, few have been as impressive in recent memory as this 12" from the Inkblot Records operation. Founded by Italian pair Haiku and Mirror 1, Inkblot's inaugural 12" drop looks to both an established name in Modularz boss Developer and a artist whose productions are gaining wider recognition with every release in Stanislav Tolkachev. Both Developer tracks offer good examples of why Adrian Sandoval's productions under the name are synonymous with "power techno" and there's a satisfyingly gravely texture to "Observance" which is complemented well by the mind bending lead of "Brightly Dark". Tolkachev lines the flip with two tracks called "Raw" with the insouciant bleeps of the first totally matched by the Geophone-worthy sound design of the second.
