Bleep

Essential collection for fans of techno’s original punk and the Downwards label. Karl O’Connor revisits a defining era of his Regis discography, when he parked his Gymnastics-style loops and unleashed cinematic, broken-beat rollers on the now defunct Blackest Ever Black or home base Downwards. The tracks on Tongue Box could only be O’Connor, stone cold lessons in rhythmic tension, sound design and whiplash percussion. Updated, re-interpreted and re-mastered for older heads and the new generation alike, this double pack is a welcome reminder of Regis' timeless vision of techno.
