Sid Le Rock 'Elasticity' EP (My Favourite Robot Records)
For its 153rd release, My Favourite Robot Records welcomes Beachcoma boss Sid Le Rock for three tracks of sculptured electro-techno. The Canadian producer delivers a trifecta of rib-rattling tracks. ‘Echo Canyon’ sets the early pace with its pulsating basslines and ghostly melodies, while ‘Elasticity’ doesn’t live up to its title but is instead more straight-edged, as Le Rock adds some droney acidic techno into the broth for a lumbering cut of warehouse fodder. And to finish, you’ve got ‘Franz Guentag’, a downbeat cut that actually rounds out the release on a bit of a whimper. Its bruising basslines and haunting soundscapes are certainly worth your time and effort – just don’t expect it to kick-start a dancefloor.
