This release, as much as we’ve been waiting for it, is a little bit of a mystery. Perhaps, this is due to the label’s inherent ambiguity when it comes to its aliases and letting the press know about them. In all honesty, this adds to Atelier’s charm, the label run out of Berlin and one which surfaces on Hardwax’s page with a new release, from time to time. Adopo, one of the three artists featuring on this latest clusterbomb, has featured prominently on the imprint and has returned alongside the unknown Flexi and Blendi. Monikers and their identities aside, this is a fantastic EP form start to finish and could possibly even be the crowning jewel in the label’s run so far. Mixing up shreds of post-punk, techno and industrial, there just isn’t a ‘best track’ on here. Flexi’s “Track 1″ sounds like a beefed-up instrumental of Cabaret Voltaire’s mid-eighties period, while Blendi’s “Track 2″ is a grooving, improvisational techno sketch at high speed – a true beauty! On the flip, Adopo goes deeper and more lo-fi on both “Track 3″ and “Track 4″, the latter of which, alongside Flexi’s opener, would sound absolutely immense on a big system. Warmly recommended, don’t miss it!
