Bleep

As some of us still mourn the passing of Mika Vainio, the first of what we expect to be a string of posthumous releases presents itself on techno major label Token. Recorded under his Ø [Phase] moniker, the Submerged Metropolitan EP contains three fiercely engaging cuts that echo the best qualities of Basic Channel whilst remaining firmly Vainio. Our pick of the lot is ‘This Absent Mind’, a relentless and dubbed out groove that manages to captivate for the entirety of its 5 minute run.
