Manuel Sahagun and Christos Kessidis arrange two interpretations of ‘Falling’, tailoring the main parts to sensuous and underground variants.
On the flip ‘What Is Love’ goes a little bit oldschool while keeping high the overall quality of the whole EP.

William Arist starts the new year with a banger release to be out this week on Frenzy Recordings: his ‘Gultural’ EP bring back the listener to the roots of tribal techno, reissuing this very club oriented style with a contemporary but autenthic sound setup. We have little to add about the originals, they sound heavy and well produced, expecially in the low end; anyway the EP is completed with two interpretations made by Vil and Kenji Hina who increase the bpm speed and introduce some obscure and glamorous influences.
