Chicago techno condottiere Frankie Vega beats the box on Pathway, a three track EP from techno friendship society UKR.
The title track sets the stage with drums that thunder like artillery and a bassline that can’t sit still. The effect is contagious: it is scientifically impossible to sit still while listening to this. “Static Route” whips out the heavy machinery, a driving track built around tuned traffic and noise.
Chicago’s AFTR and ROAZ make “Pathway” bounce on the remix, leading with drums, a dizzying OD of sweeps and effects.
