Breakbeat
Swedish label, Arkajo, has secured its place front and centre for delivering the very best spaced-out, dub-tinged techno. And the latest addition to their output, Ebende's 'Arkajo 4', is no exception to this rule. The first track, 'The Source', arrives with light-footed skittering atmospheres, skating effortlessly across airy yet undertonally eerie atmospheres. Fans of Forest Drive West - this track is one for your arsenal. Arkajo's remix of the same track, housed on the second half of the A side, punctuates the original with the label head's distinctive bass-driven groove. On the flip side, 'Magic Land', lands with ethereal, icy atmospheres, melting away into delectably breaksy rhythms. Puglist's remix, the final track of this fantastic EP, is a darkened, electro-breaks take on Ebende's original - powerful and driving, this is an amazing addition to the release. Wonderfully varied yet very much of-a-piece, this is one of those releases that is destined to fit comfortably across a diverse range of record collections.
