Cosmin TRG - A Universal Crush

01. A Universal Crush
02. Negligee
03. Magnetic Bodies
04. Sirop

Cosmin TRG continues his trajectory into deeper House and Techno grooves on his third release for Rush Hour's Direct Current series. The title track begins with a cascade of strangely tuned strings before becoming consumed by driving 4/4s, while 'Negligee' views Detroit from a distance with zig-zagging bars oscillating between pitched strings and squirming bleeps propelled by thick, padded bottom end. Magnetic Bodies' takes the vibe somewhere more romantic with fluttering synths and cannily uplifting chord progressions alloyed to firm but supple rhythm programming and 'Sirop' elevates the energy levels for a finely filtered construction fusing NYC Garage and Chicago House sensibilities.

Cosmin TRG - Tower Block / Béton Brut

1. Tower Block
2. Béton Brut

Following his peakin' Funky drops for Tempa and Rush Hour, TRG goes dark and techy with two steely focussed actions for Hemlock. The imagery is set with the title for 'Tower Block', taking the vibe pan-ghetto sci-fi with a blend of frisky Latin shuffles and calculated Zomby-esque motions craftily nodding to the Dutch Bubblers sound. 'Bton Brut' stays in that occluded Nether zone with cranky dry textures and haunted pads circling proper tricksy future techno rhythms like a darkside version of Rishi Romero's 'African Forest'. Severely ON IT gear. Well recommended!!!...www.boomkat.com
