Kr!z – Revelation

Making his Blueprint debut last year with ‘Neutrino EP’, Kr!z returns with a glistening follow up EP, ‘Revelation’. Having been at the forefront of techno for over a decade, known for his sound palette fusing hypnotic touches with an unbridled energy, Kr!z is continuing the sonic tradition set out by icons such as Jeff Mills, Steve Rachmand and James Ruskin. The opening track of this succinct four-track EP, ‘Tidal Wave’, washes over us in a relentless series of expansive synthlines and circling rhythms. Opening into dizzying hypnotism, ‘Evil Eye’ has a breakdown like no other – for this, Kr!z momentarily pulls everything back, reducing the track down to a skeletal structure, before gradually bringing in only the necessary components. A release that solidifies Kr!z’s status as a keyplayer in contemporary techno.
