Nørbak – There’s No Lesson EP

Artur Moreira has been building up a formidable catalogue of pummelling techno gear in recent years, with albums for Axis and Warm Up last year and drops on Edit Select, Modularz, MindTrip and Mord amongst his many high-end achievements. Soma have been strong supporters of the producer’s sound, and so it continues with this latest EP for Slam’s long-standing institution. ‘His Reign Is Over’ showcases Moreira’s Norbak sound as a finely sculpted, dynamic kind of percussive techno, where there’s subtlety to match the impact of the drums. Reeko then steps up for a remix which takes the original and hammers it into a more linear, industrial tool. The B side belongs strictly to Norbak, and he uses the space to exercise his drum design with exacting detail.
