Phil Moffa 'Decimation' (BleeD Music)
Some techno producers can lack a little soul and funk in their music, but Phil Moffa is not one of those people. As soon as ‘Decimation’ gets started, there’s already a hint of a groove that remains quite subtle, but still provides the backdrop to a slick, moody workout. Though it might not be as hard-hitting as some of the other tracks on the accompanying EP, ‘Decimation’ benefits from its simmering atmosphere – it proves that you don’t always need to sledgehammer people with kick drums to create something moving and engrossing.
