Dust-e-1 & Priori are back with a 4 track EP of dreamy, atmospheric electronica via their ANF alias. "Passive Massive" opens with a skippy, light breakbeat combined with dreamy electronics, a hooky synth lead and plenty of cerebral sfx squiggles n niggles to keep the mind's eye active!

"Images" deploys the familiar, comforting partnership of 303 and pitched-down breakbeat. Wrapped in heavenly strings and occasional echoed out vox - a proper comedown paradise at the magic 99BPM sway.

"Technique" quickly picks up the pace for side B's excursion into sonic star clusters. A beautifully constructed soundscape that sounds like your cruising through some futuristic and highly advanced galaxy with neon blues and clean lines marking the warp speed transition.

"CBOTEOC" concludes with a liminal ambient number that'll nurse partied-out souls and frazzled e-heads with its undulated, gently unfolding beauty. Top stuff from this pair, most recommended.

Matt Says: Acid-flecked house, techno, downbeat and ambient; all coalesced into a vibrant, spirit-lifting EP of post-XTC-laden bliss. Perfecto!
