Mike Parker 'Gyroscopic Precession' (Tresor)
Tresor continues to power on and, after celebrating 25 years in the game, it’s business as usual with this four-track EP from the master of meticulously hypnotising techno, Mike Parker. So focused and so unflinching in his approach, Parker has carved out his own niche, and ‘Gyroscopic Precession’ is the perfect representation of his sound. On the surface it seems minimal, but listen closely and you can hear all the subtle inflections: the rise and fall of sounds, the intricate interplay and the careful layering that makes this a killer cut.
