Moliner is the big boss man at the Depaart imprint – and a man whose ethereal jams make him one of the imprint’s start turns. He returns to the label here for his first release on home turf for some time, as he comes back with SN347, the sort of release that reminds us just why he’s spoken of in influential circles as one of Spain’s best up-and-coming producers.
Getting us going is the firm sounds of ‘’SN437’’ itself. Menacing but also brilliantly constructed, it’s a nimble and delicate track that’s gloriously different. If you’re looking to leave your audience in a real headspin, then this set builder really will take some beating. Middle track ‘’Hip 36208’’ reminds us of the sort of thing that producers such as Oliver Huntemann and Gregor Tresher have built their careers on, such is the dizzying nature of the sounds on offer. ‘’Sentinel’’ is full of cosmic, sci-fi flourishes and dizzying soundscapes aplenty, and is a curtain-closer that’s full of class and panache. Really great stuff from the guys.
