Milano - The Fall

Milano
The Fall
Turbo Recordings

Milano's debut release sums up where Turbo is heading, signing forward thinking starlets releasing 'real techno'. With their new roster continuing to build with Sei A and Gessaflelstein, before the first listen you get the feeling this is going to be yet another fool proof dj record for techno enthusiasts.

The Fall is a dose of real deap acid. Starting with a deceptively simple kick, things are brought to life with a grubby bassline while squelchy synths waver hurriedly over the top. The bass patiently carries the track whilst more squeaks, bleeps and spacious synths are splattered throughout. Things climax with harrowing chords and a drawn out shriek just in time for the bass and kick to carry proceedings home. All in all some top notch warm up fodder from the Canadian.

Likewise, Untold starts things off pretty bare-bones, but things soon get much more interesting as the analogue synths open up and the chords are allowed space to experiment. The remix is more imaptinet, abrasive even, as Untold opts for harsh percussion, layered synths and eery bleeps. It's clearly a remix of the Canadian, but as ever the UK sound of Untold is ever present - there's real authority here. Having been associated with a 'bass' sound until recent times, on The Fall, he's now taking up duties with a more four to the floor approach; he's taken the acid dipped original and overheated it to total delirium. Finishing off it's synthapella, Milano himself strips back all the shrieking, acidic basslines and leaves you in a world without percussion and what a place it is. all tracks on this debut are solid enough to ensure Milano's future on Turbo might just become a healthy relationship, with The Fall sitting quite comfortably next to the rest of Tiga's roster, - Untolds remix might raise eyebrows initially but it's Milano that deserves all the props.
