XY0815 :: This Tool Has No Options (YUYAY)

It is wonderful to see YUYAY back releasing. It is a label that has always sought out eclectic and open styles, refusing genre pigeonholes in its pursuit of lesser heard music. XY0815’s This Tool Has No Options is a sure expression of this mandate. An LP that took its cue from the past with tracks that will undoubtedly continue to sound fresh for years to come.

Uf0 :: Uf0 (Fourier Transform)

García sculpts his sounds within the frames of acid, braindance and electro with obvious influences from breaks and IDM. What can be surprising is the length of pieces, few running over the four minute mark. Despite their brevity, these are works bursting with emotion and energy.

Nuron :: DAT Tapes Vol 02 (De:tuned)

Interestingly, DAT Tapes Vol 02 casts light on a style that Jusat is not known for. There are moments of his trademark techno, but it is a more floor centric house that is at the heart of the record. The depth of previous productions is less evident, the explorations on offer being more rhythmic than melodic.
