Dublin based label Awareness Systems returns with their Combination 2 EP which is a
split EP between label boss Pineal Navigation and the prolific Stanislav Tolkachev. After
great support for Combination 1 EP from Marcel Dettman, Dave Clarke, Kaiser and
Charlton to name a few, the second release continues it’s progress with four analogue
live cuts furthering the label’s aim to heighten the energetic state through cerebral
techno music.
With a track a piece on each side the record moves from the hypnotic machine rhythms
of Stanislav Tolkachev’s A1 track “Battleground” which paints an apocalyptic landscape
with relentless bass heavy drum programming, into two tracks by Pineal Navigation
which are both trippy and moody with heavy mo-town vibes. Lover’s of Rob Hood and
early Underground Resistance take note. The EP is rounded out by Tolkachev on B2
who delivers a relentless driving track of acidic machine funk.
