Collateral Pleasure EP

(Early support by Ben Klock, DVS1 & Rene Wise) DHÆÜR makes his debut on Dustin Zahn's Enemy Records with 4 stripped down Techno tools ranging from "relentless and heavy" to "grooving and introspective." Each track o ff ers a di ff erent approach to minimalistic Techno, all rich in moody atmospherics. In classic A1 fashion, "Bayes Theorem" is the heaviest track on the record. Throbbing sub bass meshes together with pedaling hi hats while vocal chops and modulating synth work cover the top end. It's sinister and pounding, yet retains a sense of groove without becoming too aggressive. "Perception" closes the A side with a deeper and more introspective approach. The bass fi lls in only where necessary,leaving the pads and bleepy synths to do all the heavy lifting. "Scanning" kicks o ff the B-side, de fi ned by a rolling bass line and moody chord stabs. It gives the dance fl oor exactly what it needs and nothing more. The record comes to a close with "5th Avenue." It's deep, steady, rolling, and dripping in polymeter synth pulses. Brief glimpses of vocal phrases o ff set the darkness, giving it a bit of funk and playfulness...making it essential for deeper late night sets.
