Offset (a.k.a. Philippe Juven) takes his cues from the Detroit techno of pioneers like Derrick May, Carl Craig, and Drexciya-‐affiliated project Dopplereffekt, as well as post-‐punk/industrial outfits Joy Division
and Front 242.
On this latest outing, opener “Disturbed” invents its own strain of sci-‐fi nu-‐disco, with brassy pads and an infectious, looped bassline. Fittingly, Norwegian DJ/producer and affiliate of Prins Thomas’ Full
Pupp label Jarle Bråthen supplies a title-‐track remix.
Rounding out the EP, “Pikes Peak” features punchy, big-‐room drums, suspenseful builds offset by paranoid arpeggiators, and hazy, dystopian pads, while the funked-‐up electro of “Wolf Gang” gives way to a melancholic, cold-‐wave chords and a hive of detuned synths.
