... After the killer crunchy stuff?? Look no further! Spezialmaterial’s awesome Intricate return with this ace twelve, kicking off with ‘Matix’, continuing their thread of devious low end and beat arrangements – the half-speed hip-hop headnod bass thump is used adroitly to showcase a kinetic percussive line, and a surprising heartfelt melody. ‘Presense’ wields another mighty beat, severed vocal loops revolve around a crushing rhythmic progression. ‘Obregad’ opts for a messier, shattered beat approach, and begins to reveal a slightly more european synth sound entering Intricate’s work, like Gescom on crunk. Saving the best till last, ‘Tense’ is the indisputable classic here – biggest bass and drums gradually and imperceptibly increase in velocity, until the tune has transformed into an unstoppable techno juggernaut, a dirty bassline and high speed rave effects, make for dancefloor detonation every time. Killer!

... Intricate with an ep of hip hoppy tracks that sound like autechre or pansonic remixing a lil Jon track. Tence is the standout, a slow burning piece of crunchy crunky love. ...

... Intricate ( Thomas Federspiel & Fabian Stbu ) return with " dori doreau (on) " ep, the follow up the mightly album " In Pectra ".

' Matix ' opens with a xylphone melting melody which is rich with textures, shapes and snapping drumbeats. Soom after a heavy almost plasticy bassline comes into effect and adds an air of dominance to the proceedings whilst knotted sirens battle with each other in the air, and melts deeply with the percussive rattlings that Intricate do so well.
Coat that off with a bag of vocal slices that variate through the air whilst a heavier crunch attack takes place. This is all good stuff.

' Presence ' confirms that you have enlisted to join the robot army, and chucks you in line for a formation walk to the nearest barracks. Thudding times are here, with a pounding thump which gives off a dark black mist everytime it hits the ground as the intelligent murmurings inside the metal sheds are joined by robotic jabberings which flick around within like moths around a gigantic lightbulb. Immense atmospheric stuff. ' Obregad ' is a playful monster who is just that little bit too heavy handed when he goes mad. MASSIVE crunchy beats take control as a swirly synth melody cuts through the air like a jet fighter taking evasive action that drops off exploding starburts to confuse its invisible attackers. This one will really get the dancelfoor in motion, cracking and shattering when the needle is dropped. More jawdropping stuff by Intricate, 2 damn good.

' Tense ' grinds into action with a cascading motion of processed beats and machined calls with that little piece of magic thrown in, so you just know that this one is going to be unstoppable. The layers of automated sound drop into place like a self assembling jigsaw and carefully lazer guided weapons hit their target with ease as the gargantuan size of this track continues to triple itself in size every ten seconds. This one is mashed up to the maximum and blows the room to pieces in the final section with a rave style pulsing grind disaster anthem, that has to be heard to be appreciated. Killlleeeerrrrrr.

Well, well, well Intricate have smashed it up big time in this one. Thomas and Fabian have produced another slice of music of the highest quality which just shows how so so strong the Spezialmaterial team is thesedays, its just classic after classic. So recommended.

... The central members of the Swiss Spezialmaterial collective, Thomas Federspiel & Fabian Stübi aka INTRICATE, returns with the follow up to the rave reception accorded “In Pectra”, their criminally cool debut album. "Dori Doreau (On)" will lift them even higher as this, we feel, will come to be seen as one of Intricate’s defining works. "Matix" continues their thread of devious low end and beat arrangements – the half-speed hip-hop headnod bass thump is used adroitly to showcase a kinetic percussive line, and a surprising heartfelt melody. "Presense" wields another mighty beat, severed vocal loops revolve around a crushing rhythmic progression. "Obregad" opts for a messier, shattered beat approach, and begins to reveal a slightly more European synth sound entering Intricate’s work, like Gescom on crunk. Saving the best till last, "Tense" is the indisputable classic here – biggest bass and drums gradually and imperceptibly increase in velocity, until the tune has transformed into an unstoppable techno juggernaut, a dirty bassline and high speed rave effects, make for dancefloor detonation every time. Don't miss out on this. ...
