DVS1 - EVOLVE - HUSH

A welcome return to the techno game for DVS1 who opens proceedings on his own newly minted Hush imprint in superlative fashion, laying down a double dose of creeping, minimalist Detroit machine funkers. "Evolve" is an prime experiment in mind altering rhythmic sensations, steadily drawing out wave after wave of devious analogue flourishes amidst paranoia inducing skittering percussion and perennially menacing bass throbs. Always undulating but never exploding, "Evolve" is a near perfect example of DVS1's craft. It is complemented by the aptly titled "Submerge" with the liquefied chords providing some expansive beauty amidst the tightly wound groove and tropical rainstorm of percussion.
