[TT014] Pilo - Ubstraktion (2012.12.17)

TWIN TURBO 014 - PILO - UBSTRAKTION

Twin Turbo presents the debut release from Pilo, featuring three tracks to destroy whatever's left of 2012's dancefloors.

It's always a source of pride for the label to discover a new artist and shove him out onto the world stage to sink or swim into the playlists of all the huge names who pay rapt attention to everything we do. We were introduced to Pilo through Harvard Bass, who suggested his fellow Californian for remix duties on his own recent Twin Turbo release. Now, we're pleased to present Pilo's proper debut, the work of yet another huge young talent grinding it out for nu-techno supremacy.

"Ubstraktion (Jazz Yo Self Mix)" melds rave diva vox, an infectious siren hook, and high-BPM lysergic techno, leaving you wonder what the less jazzy mix could possibly sound like. Meanwhile, "Forte Inductance" strips away the nonsense to genuine "stripped-down, no-nonsense" levels, relying on a relentless kick, overdriven toms, and a melting MC vocal to get the job done. Finally, "Trippin" gets you trippin' so hard that the term "after-hours warehouse banger-monster" seems to lose all meaning, before gaining way too much meaning.

Twin Turbo - closing out the year with new discoveries, new digital bombs, and new definitions of peak-time dominance. We'll see you in 2013 with music that reflects our world's inevitable Mad Max, dancing-in-the-breadline reality.
