Relicta [LP]

Drumcode LTD gets a relaunch with the first original EP since 2018. Sweden's Patrick Seich returns teams up with Sandra Mosh, a fellow underground mainstay of the Swedish techno scene, with caps at Berghain and Sonar Reykavik also to her name. The four-track offering is a colorful trip through a range of techno moods. 'Relicta' is a trippy concoction driven by papery drums and ricocheting synths. 'Terma' is brimming with bouncy peak-time spirit. 'Red Flag' takes a tougher turn, pummelling with 2am intensity. 'Square Side' is a delicious head caver, driven by an unrelenting synth lead.
