About this item

Eidetic is a new project from the brokntoys camp, focusing on the deeper side of techno. To kick off the project, Eidetic welcomes Exhausted Modern - an alias from Layup, the co-founder of Endless Illusion, for a 4-track EP of grimy, grubby, eerie electronics suited for the early hours on the dance floor. Slow but quite crisp and clear, "Absence Of Divine Principle" opens the record in a glorious darkness. "Free From Possessions" has a rubbery b-line and shadowy pads, recalling a distant and skewed version of Ron Hardy's acid trax and possessing the same level of grit. "The One" shimmers and slides like the best of Detroit and UK techno. Intricate LFO fluctuations highlight some exquisite synth work, punctuated perfectly by some classic drum boxes. "Attain Ataraxia" concludes, a concentric, interstellar number with ascending arps and ghostly pads. All in a class way to kick off this new sub-label from the true underground. Recommended!
