The A-side comes from POLYGONIA, a talent who has leapt to the forefront of the club scene with singles on MULE MUSIQ, BAMBE and ara, plus a full-length last year on the mighty DEKMANTEL: "Black Swords" (sample1) moves from liquid minimal synth loops and echoes of staccato bouncing kicks into a deftly executed breakbeat section ushered in by mystical synths. TAMMO HESSELINK, the man who defines the "Mantis" series on Dutch techno institution DELSIN, appears on the B-side under his MELATONIN MAN alias with "Timeless Time" (sample2), attacking with boosted acid under the influence of punkish rave electro. Even within the 4/4 format, the rhythm engineering and groove control are anything but straightforward. Already sold out at the distributor — don't sleep. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
