- Nico Deuster's Killekill label return with the second EP from acid tag-team Cassegrain & Tin Man. Leading on from last year's "Carnal," this offering presents a further three takes on the 303 warehouse sound, moving between moments of simmering serenity and full-on dance floor fervour.
The title track wastes little time in grabbing your attention, leading from the off with a prancing synth line. A slow-cooked intro swells gracefully towards ripeness, with stern kicks and machine-gun snares brought in as reinforcements. It's testament to the melody's beauty that the record remains engaging throughout its ten-minutes. "Sex Kit" is similar but grittier, locking down a limber 303 growl and riding it from start to finish. Adorned with snapping claps and factory-floor flickers, the result is the pair's hardest offering yet, although it does retain a certain warmth. By comparison, "Sand Maze" feels feral—one minute its acid line is lost amidst a swirl of echoes and jagged snares, the next it stands tall and proud. A flurry of faint bells enter later on, rounding out this mesmerising release in a soft, eerie haze.
