G 11

A veteran of Force-Inc.,!K7,Tommy Boy,Swim and Warp,one time Lfo member and current G-Man Gez Varley brings his protean techno mastery to Persistencebit with two originals and two "G-11"mixes by Carsten Fietz and Nadja Lind.Varley anchors his pulverizing G-Man mix of "Slaunch" with a colossal kick drum and drench its galopping pulse with cobra-like streams.The bleeding sheen of "Higher",on the other hand,draws forth the material's hypnotic Detroit meets Berlin vibe more than any of the other tracks.Propelled by a grooving bass rumble and burbling chord accents,Cartsen Fietz's relentlessly swinging "G-11" mix oozes equal parts techno and house flavour,with Berlin Dj Nadja Lind tightens the track's techno-funk with handclaps and machine noises.Here and elsewhere,Varley's mastodon techno rolls out with the resolute,relentless force of an indomitable army.
