Olympos 05 12″

The consistently great Olympos series reaches its fifth installment with none other than Aphrodite on the credits. The goddess of love is a marquee booking in this celestial scene, so expectations for the beats she yields are high. “Aligenis” makes for a strong opening statement as lysergic layers of effects processing and sound design writhe around a snaking techno backbone. “Enalia” nudges down into a more subterranean sound without losing that attention to detail, before “Morpho” swerves towards electro-flavoured beats without breaking the shroud of mystery and studio proficiency at work elsewhere on the EP. “Pitho” possibly saves the best til last – a simmering, subliminal ride through atmospheric percussion for the Dozzy-devotee crowd to get lost in.
