Bleep

Cologne’s Kompakt imprint uncover new local talent, welcoming techno producer Lazaros to the imprint. His debut 12’’ displays a surprisingly refined sound aesthetic for someone’s who’s just starting out: his techno is styled in minimal fashion. On the opener, Lazaros plays with bubbling keyboards and very subtle hi-hats, conjuring up compelling dynamics. The precise percussion continues on Tretagono which otherwise works in more shuffling ways, banking on the hypnotic effects of the snake-like synths wiggling in the background.
