Violent Rotation EP

Violent Rotation EP is the 2nd and latest release from Scottish label Hypnotic Groove Records. Still in its infancy, the label continues to grow and with a very busy upcoming release schedule there are plenty more talented artists on the way. Fellow Scottish producer CJW is at the helm for this one providing two dark and driving techno cuts aimed squarely at the dance floor. CJW has been developing his dark techno sound on these two tracks, the swirling dark sub bass theme is more than apparent on both tracks for this very strong release. Each track is shaped perfectly and fused with clear influences from his upbringing in Glasgow, a city renowned for its strong, vibrant techno scene. Whirlwind succeeds in building tension with its rising and falling percussion and intricate hi hat lines. As the crashing and clanging percussion elements continues the tracks interest increases, before the dark, menacing sub bass comes through. After a brief lull in the energy, the track slams back in with pumping percussion and a pounding kick drum providing the backing for the all-important whirling sub bass On the flip we have Cyclone, a powerhouse techno track built on the solid foundation of its unrelenting dark bass and driving stabs. The track effortlessly picks up the pace ever so slightly as skipping hi hats give the track more urgency before dubbed out pads trip over the top.
