Over the course of the last five years, Alex Tsiridis and Hüseyin Evirgen, now both firmly entrenched in Berlin, have created a heavily detailed rhythmic language of morphing synthesis, high end processing and club-chiseled production. A basis for much of their studio work, their controlled, hardware-focused live sets have brought them to a unique and respected position as showmen. A nod to the classic 90s electronic album format - spanning a wide range of tempos and genres - ‘Centres of Distraction’ covers a lot of ground. After the opening club-ready syncopations of ‘A Study Of Splashes’, itself a warm and addictive cut, the duo set out on a new exploration in purist electronica, beginning with ‘Resilin’. Morphing from abstract and reduced broken beats into a stirring melodic piece, it’s the most song-structured we’ve heard them. And so change and contrast are to continue as key themes. ‘Centres’ drops with its funky, off-centre lines and rattling percussion, to be quickly followed by the mighty ‘Intrude - Restrain’. ‘New Hexagon’ charms us into a deep hypnosis with its percussive and rhythmic synthesis, highlighting the intricacies of the duo’s drum programing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 472px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2039218419\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cassegrain.bandcamp.com\/album\/centres-of-distraction\"\u003eCentres of Distraction by Cassegrain\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Second Hand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62761719300426,"sku":"2756","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/8187\/0154\/files\/cc_front_0f887a77-50f8-40dc-8c49-5b1ab428fbb0.jpg?v=1784470524","url":"https:\/\/chippychasers-recordstore.com\/products\/cassegrain-nikos-veliotis-centres-of-distraction","provider":"Chippy Chasers Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
