Down To Detail

MYR welcome veteran DJ and producer Oldrich Sic Jr. for two tracks of arresting techno.

This Czech born, Austria based artist has held many club and radio residencies since 1997. He is behind Prague Electric, a party series and soon to be label that deals in giving a platform to fresh young talent. He's released on a range of labels and now shows off his powerful sound once more.

Opener “Well” is a brooding track with a molten lead synth that rumbles away as drums build and fall away around it. The tension mounts with glitchy claps to a real crescendo, and when the kicks land properly the roof of any club is sure to be blown off. It's economical but hugely effective techno with a truly forceful presence.

On the flip, “Thought Out” is just as supersized, but with ripping acid lines and blurting synths fleshing out the heavyweight drums. Poised chords add a sombre mood to the grooves and ensure that real feelings match with genuine function.

This is bold and brilliantly visceral techno from an artist with many years of experience.
