ADAM COLLINS Schallplatten & CDs

Review: The second vinyl release on Midnight Social comes from Adam Collins, one half of iconic US tech house duo Omni A.M. and an all-round seasoned pro in the field of stripped-back, headsy club gear. If you can't get enough of that sound then you're going to be all over this record, which reaches from the strict rhythmic workout of 'Kyiv' to the cheeky chord stabs of 'Three White Doves', the deep blue waters of 'Cyprus Falls' and on to Grant Dell's 'Tribulation' remix of 'Kyiv' which reaches into boxy, trip-out territory for the blurry end of the dance.

Review: Euphonics, an EP released via Restless Planet, is three artists coming together to create a strong look at minimal music today. Adam Collins' 'Drexel' sets the tone with its quirky, minimal grooves and a captivating blend of the strange and the familiar. Christine Benz's 'GB3' offers a melodic respite, showcasing her prowess in tech house. The final track, 'Effluxion' by Intensive Purposes, emerges as the standout piece for us, transporting listeners to an idyllic island paradise with its tribal house rhythms. Together, these three tracks showcase the diversity and innovation within the electronic music scene.
