aLkan – Medusa EP

From one of Melbourne's true up-and-comers arrives this assured, gritty, dark future-tech renaissance, hallmarked by the brilliant opening track, 'Medusa': Think spacey, out there, sinister ambience underwriting Detroit-originated techno.

'Make or Break' is a tad mournful and takes on a futurist Japanese soundtrack feel reminiscent of Kenji Kawai, leaving the book open for Japan's Takashi Watanabe (aka DJ Warp) to move proceedings into a superbly cruisy tech-house vibe in his remix of Bosphorus Breathing.
