Werner/Hitchell/Traxx - Fractal Rip - Antenna International ANT08

A - Werner & Hitchell - Fractal Rip
B - Traxx - Introspective (Prelides & Nocturnes version)

"Two deep and deadly jack sojourns from Echospace's Steve Hitchell and Chicago stalwart Josh Werner! They've found a terrifically mean streak of form with this 12", dropping the heat-seeking jack of 'Fractal Rip' on the A-side, built with chewed-up 303 bass gurgles and ruff-cut machine rhythms to help even the most uncoordinated warehouse dweller find their perk. On the flip they offer a harrowing 'Preludes & Nocturnes' version of 'Introspective' from Traxx's 'Faith' disc, refracting it through Hitchell's matrix of filters, delays, and assorted vintage FX until it emerges zombified and harrowed, like some darkwave proto-house gem that's been cowering in the corner of Jamal Moss's basment for the last 25 years."

1 - Dream (feat ArD2 - Allstars edit)
2 - Midas Land (feat Josh Werner)
3 - Dream (JTC remix)

"Frigio's head honcho invites Chicago's Josh Werner and perennial acid fiend, JTC, on an intrepid electro-acid quest. With help from the shadowy ArD2 aka Penélope his original 'Dream' sounds like a muzzled Ultradyne in a reflective mood, while the sinister EBM-spiked throb and bustle of 'Midas Land' fuses Josh Werner's vox into a detuned cut of gothic acid feat. arrangements from Rolf Martens and Ekis. JTC takes on 'Dream', laying gurgling 303 tweaks and electro-tipped jackers patterns with wickedly off-kilter chords."
