Mike Parker, Steve Bicknell – In The Years Ahead on Reclaim Your City, Release Description
Youve been waiting for it, and so have we, RYCs next frequency-jammer comes in the form of a heavyweight split 4-tracker, courtesy of two true techno pioneering figures: Mike Parker and Steve Bicknell. The continued influence of these two artists on both our early raving days and now as a team working on providing you the most exciting, boundary-pushing tech wares is second to none. As youll experience from the four jams constitutive of this unparalleled mindtrip of an EP, In The Years Ahead is the living evidence the steadfastness of Parker and Bicknells vision remains absolutely untouched. Zeroed in on taking ravers on an entrancing ride across pulsating corridors of whirring machine funk, sizzling acid and shape-shifting waves of sound, both sides of this EP share the best lot of both producers uniquely innovative approach to rhythm and production. Parkers opening cut, Solar Limb is a textbook example of his complex, and heavily layered sound-design. An unflinching swing keeping time, brutal kicks punching holes in your head like giant steel hammers, the track may evolve slowly, repeating its post-industrial mantra over and over again, its flame doesnt flicker one iota. Switching onto red-level dance floor menace, Badlands pulls out the heavy artillery: an overkill bombardment of puncturing 909 drums, vortical winds blowing in the back like some solar storm of sorts, and this ebb-and-flow of FX-drenched synth ripples branded on your cortex like odd signs of cult belonging. Bicknells takeover starts with the rugged and wild Chaotic World, whose title is definitely not usurped. Enter a blazing maelstrom of frantic synth assault knocked askew, intense bass tectonic movements and smashing arpeggios on the path of war. The track develops a massive momentum, swelling from primordial raw matter into weirdly arranged modular constructions, like that of Kubricks monolith emerging with ominous presence. In The Years Ahead serves up a much distinctively elegant, glossy type of textural experience, synths playing pong in a hall of mirrors, interlacing and distorting as the percussive line unfolds its linear train-like groove. It dashes across landscapes of hypermodern glass and concrete with unrelenting horsepower, from technos early sanctuary right up onto tomorrows temple of unmapped potentialities.
