Title: Unstable Rotation Centers
Label: pandafuzz
Release Date: 10/26/10
The fall rains, so rarely seen this year, blow cold against my cheek. Generally during this time of year I find myself leaning on old records such as The Nudes by Pele to guide me into winter. Being my first fall season out here in Minnesota the season moves much faster and with more aggression. Needing something more direct and to the point Martin Back’s newest release, Unstable Rotation Centers, provides a good backing to this new experience.
Martin Back approaches music with extreme precision and deliberate movement. We had been communicating on and off for some months based off of a single track he had sent in and I had trust and faith his deliberation would provide something fully complete.

Press Release: With his latest two Albums “The Fat Pasta Grooves” on his own imprint Electronic Petz, and “Rain“, the Paris based DJ and producer Alessandro Russo aka SLOK was aslo able to follow up in quality and complexity to his in 2009 released tracks “Freak” and “Funky Finger” on Circle Digital this year. Now he comes around with his next tune “Rocco’s Hard Scene”. Hermanez, who recently rocked Circle Music with his “Locomotive/Snarey Business” release produced the ten minutes monster remix.
A1 – Rocco’s Hard Scene: “Rocco’s Hard Scene” aims at the heart of the dancefloors. It is quite obvious that the arrangement reminds to the big epoch of disco. With the funky e-bass and rhythmic guitar samples Slok, who had big influence on the italian Jungle scene by the way, again shows his instinct for accurate tracks in which he is able to move free with his intentions. Slok converts the sound of the 70ies into the sound of 2010.
A2 – Rocco’s Hard Scene Part Two: What he did in “Rocco’s Hard Scene” Alessandro Russo pushes to the next level in “Rocco’s Hard Scene Part Two”. This time the man who is the founder of the Electronic Petz imprint and one head behind Stereonova goes straight forward with a juicy melody and spoken vocals. Again a very funky bassline leads through the fleet-footed arrangement and grounds all the ecstatic elements.
B – Rocco’s Hard Scene (Hermanez Remix): In his remix Hermanez does what he already did in his “Do You Cydonia” release on Kling Klong and his “Locomotive/Snarey Business” release on Circle Music of course: Creating breathless and progressive tech house music. His remix is a firework of ideas, emotions and levels. He takes the intention of the original track and converts it directly to the sound of these days.
Edinburgh via Galway, Local Living Guy, released this EP earlier in the year on International Jerk Records, and it now finds it’s way on to the world wide web. That’s quite some trekking for someone with that moniker!
“Michael Foot”, the warmly regarded former Labour leader was well respected and loved in certain circles, and I’m sure the breakneck riffs and ferocious drumming contained on this EP will be as warmly loved (albeit in different circles I would imagine)!
After the instrumental opening title track, the EP rips into Trankton Paragraph, which has a Brassneck era Weddoes ring to it, a two minutes long it is in your face, barking the lyrics, before storming straight into the following track.
This EP is fast, fun, and I’m sure an instant Rack & Ruin favourite.
Peregrino is Bernardo Durand’s project. He was born in Muñiz, Argentina in 1982, where he teaches literature to young boys. Bernardo started Peregrino in 2007, when he got his accordion. Bernardo also runs the label “Ahora Eterno”, best known for releases from Pulmon, Sublamp and himself.
“El azul helado del alba” consists of 7 tracks and has a complete duration of 44 minutes, full of warm, athmospheric and organic drone-sounds. All tracks are fitting together very homogenic. There is a metallic shimmering melody-line, a deep droning fundament and hushed strings, all elements combined to a dark, gloomy sound-sculpture. Especially the organic and dusky character of “El azul helado del alba” provides an abyssal listening-adventure. It feels like walking through an old railway tunnel or diving into a deep sea.
Grab your headphones and enjoy the soothing effect of this wonderful work.
