Dold – Ultraviolet

Mutual Rytm deals in proper techno that does the basics well and doesn’t worry about modern fads. ‘Surface’ is the standout here – it has brilliantly bubbly synths rippling in sync with the hunched drums and bold bass notes. It works perfectly on both head and body and so does ‘Blush’ though with a more sleek, straight-ahead groove and minimal percussion over the echoing claps. ‘Grainy’ shuts down with another stylish techno bent and confirms Dold to be a vital voice in the current underground.
