Crossing Avenue - CARMALEONTE EP - Spazio Disponibile / Spazio018

Experimental Italian techno duo Crossing Avenue return to Spazio Disponibile for their third EP on the label. Once again their four-track effort explores new tempos, rhythms and moods in stylish fashion. The Carmaleonte EP counts four multi-layered trips into mind-melting half time jams that pairs rubbery, rolling drums with hypnotic lead synths. After the gurgling deepness and sparsity of 'Monoica', 'Carmaleonte' is a high pressure and unrelenting, 'Santica' got the razor-sharp and unresolved rhythms where 'Decimo Piano' is a flurry of high-speed drums and sci-fi signifiers that plays out like an intergalactic space war. Techno never sounded as adventurous as this.
