After a fascinating first release from OL-047, Transition Lab Recordings is ready to serve up its next EP, this time from Alfredo Caforio. A remix is also included from David Flores aka TRUNCATE, ensuring this is another essential package. Italian Alfredo Caforio has appeared on labels like Bass Culture before now, and with the tracks he serves up here proves himself to have a fine grasp on deep, grainy techno.
Opener ’1 Week’ is a thick with industrial atmosphere as metallic textures and sinewy hooks ride up and down next to smooth but driven kick drums. It’s a track that teases for long sections before finally kicking off proper with coarse hits and distant but trance like pads.
The TRUNCATE remix is a much more direct and fast paced affair. It’s more slinky and streamlined and burrows ever deeper into a streamlined techno tunnel before ‘TN01T’ builds like a stormy night sky. On a bed of gallivanting techno drums, the whole thing is run through with spraying, smeared synths and whip-snapping percussive lines that bring real energy to the track.
Finally, ‘M03′ marries more smeared, buffed metal pads with a muffled but diva sounding vocal snippet and groovy drums. It’s a subtle bit of ravey warehouse action that closes out a second fresh transmission from Transition Lab.
