In a bold meeting of minds, Darwin Chamber and DJ Spun join forces for a four-track EP that pushes the boundaries of techno music. This self-titled release on Rong Music showcases the duo's combined decades of experience, resulting in a sonic journey that's nostalgic yet forward-thinking.
The EP kicks off with "Find The Missing Letter," a deep techno cut that weaves dub-inspired elements with hypnotic synth chimes. It's a crafty builder that sets the tone for what's to come. "Digits" follows, living up to its name with a relentless beat that evokes images of robotic revelry. This dark, driving track shows the producers' ability to create tension and release on the dancefloor.
"Do It All Night" emerges as the EP's sultry centerpiece; its pulsating rhythm and seductive groove are designed to keep bodies popping until dawn. The release closes with "Ants," a mid-tempo curiosity that crawls under your skin with its analog warmth and acidic undertones.
Darwin Chamber, aka Mark Greenfield, brings his extensive background in sound engineering and early contributions to breakbeat and trip-hop to the table. DJ Spun, the alias of Jason Drummond, infuses the project with his deep understanding of New York's club culture. Together, they've created a release that'll resonate across the DJ-sphere and club-land.
