Douglas Greed – Guilty – (Exploited)

You know when tech house suddenly puts its tongue in its techno chic? Listening to ‘Guilty’ is onesuch moment. It suspends then captures you in time and space as you survey its richly woven fabric in the sunlight, moved by the blend of beautiful colours and textures that thrill to the touch. It’s an master stroke with arpeggiated exotic keys, synth washes, definite chords and Kraftwerk-esque Tour de France cycle chain ripples just for fun. ‘Like Feathers’ is a delicate techno synth opus with crystal bell tones, percolating riffs, layered white and pink noise and suspiciously sexual squelches. Its infused with a smoky male vocal and intense, intimmate lyrics which turns it gently on its own crystal carousel. Beauty and synth deep.
