Berlin based producer Alex Tsiridis aka Rhyw debuts on Seilscheibenpfeiler Schallplatten. Having released on imprints like Avian and Fever AM, Rhyw has built a reputation as an outstandingly crafty producer with a love for rich textures and stomping tunes. While constantly exploring and trying out different angles, he's always operating on behalf of the modern dance floor. These four tracks perfectly showcase his skills as a producer as well as a DJ who exactly knows what tracks need to be both functional and interesting, energetic and deep.

"IRL" takes off bouncy and crunchy, setting a dark yet hedonistic energy that resembles classic Sandwell District records and runs through the whole EP.

"Tap To Resume" is a subtle sledgehammer of a track, brilliantly orchestrated and designed with that push-pull tension in mind, it'll easily keep floors occupied for ages, awaiting the next tectonic push from the DJ...

Much the same goes for the title track, a sinister half time excursion into creepy industrial aesthetics which takes over whatever environment it's played in through its cavernous analogue phlegm and hardcore alien interference.

Last track "Triangle Escape" shows that it's probably no coincidence that the EPs title recalls cosmic horror stories like The Lurking Fear by H. P. Lovecraft. Rhyw's productions share his thrilling intensity and minutiae in design, transformed into effective and elaborate club tools. Recommended.
