Title: Hidden Valley E.P. Artist: HVL Label: Rough House Rosie Genre: Techno Catalog number: RHR 013 Format: 12" Condition: Media: Near Mint / Sleeve: Generic
HVL has landed on many different labels in recent years, but Rough House Rosie will always be something of a spiritual home for the adventurous deep electro and techno craftsman. Across the Hidden Valley EP he displays a fluid, instinctive approach to composition Enslaver rolls out like a live jam but the detail and control embedded in the track is astounding. Distom Spook is charged with nervous acidic energy, while Lemon Stealer takes things in a more experimental direction with all manner of snaking synth voices wriggling around a crisp electro beat. Crow Hill finishes the EP off with a slow, rolling breakbeat groove and hazy pads for a quintessential B2 wind-down session.
