Revered live duo act Channel X showcase their acuminated production skills with their latest output. Aptly entitled ‘X’, the new EP marks a decade of the Berliners leaving their mark on the tech house scene. Opening track ‘Out of control’ draws you in immediately with its metallic percussion subdued by grave synths and deep horns, while the whispered, almost non-existent vocal sample adds to its overall deep and dark aesthetic. With its rolling bass-line ,”Refugia” seems to be the perfect club follow-up to ease the built-up rhythmic tension, while the Australian artist Uone gives the track an even lighter, energetic makeover. Despite its name, “Glowing” takes us on a dungeon ride by means of heavy hitting percussion, whilst Audiojack pump it with a dose of high-pitched fidgety synths for their killer remix.
