A lot of the techno spinning out of the funnel cloud that is its recent re-emergence is of the straight-up, eyes-down, minimal variety that rides the bbbeat hard and takes few detours. If you think DeFeKT’s Below Ground fits that description, however, you’re not listening deeply enough. Take it to the next level and y’allz will find a lot to latch onto, from little splashes of effects, powerfully charged upswings in mood, clicks/clacks (for variety), nearly subliminal change-ups and washes only fellow DJs will be able to ID, counter-rhythms, and lazer beams. Not to mention the gift of absenteeism; DFKT will disappear, make you search for him. Then, he jumps out of the shadows with an apprehension-conquering beat and you just gotta rock it right off the rack if you have any blood pumping through that gangrenous membrane you call a body. More kicks for the kids, and another loft-party-in-a-bottle in the bank.
