PLACID—who has earned deep trust as a “DJ’s DJ” since the late ’80s—presents his latest solo EP on the label 〈WE’RE GOING DEEP〉, which has previously featured contributions from top-tier artists such as TIN MAN, LUKE VIBERT, and DEREK CARR! 〈PLASTIC CITY〉 Veteran KENNETH GRAHAM, who has consistently released music on prestigious house and techno labels such as 〈OVUM〉, 〈IMMIGRANT〉, 〈SPECTRAL SOUND〉, and 〈GROOVE ON〉. Starting with “Joshrip” (sample 1)—a raw machine jam that pairs a tightly repeating 303 with a two-step 808—and featuring tracks like the deep dub-tech “Greedworx” (sample 2), which layers an FM bass over a low-end, steady rhythm & groove layered with an FM bass—this is an album whose meticulous sound design sends shivers down your spine, revealing undiscovered details with every listen.
