UPFRONTBEATS

The excellent Terminal M label is back with another grade of brilliantly stripped back techno cuts. This time Paride Saraceni is the artist behind them and shows why the likes of Adam Beyer, Maya Jane Coles and Hot Since 82 have been supporting his music recently.

He is a young London based artist who has quickly risen through the ranks with his powerful sound. It comes on labels like Truesoul, Sci+Tec, Tronic and more, and makes a real impact.

The Other Side feat. Monce is a driving number with barrelling drums and spaced out pads in the distance. The hits and claps are sprinkled over the top as muffled vocals bring real spine tingling soul to the cut.

Bitter Resolution then gets more trippy, with melodic synths up top as icy techno hi hats dangle above the rooted kicks. It’s colourful techno with real charm and closes out a moving EP.
