Dirt Tech Reck US Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Eastern percussion and tabla elements join saw-wavey synths and ghoulish atmospheres in the title track for Electric Street Orchestra's second EP, Natives, for the new Dirty Tech Records. Acoustic breakbeats and drum and bass leaning rhythms add another layer of animosity to the EP on "Serpents", while the flipside, "Reconstruct" sees an ambient and string lead excursion through Aphex Twin styled toy sounds, somber Brian Eno subtleties and morbid double bass compositions similar to Mohammed, a classical trio to recently appear on PAN. The EPs remix comes from Tiny Heart's, which turns ESO's "Reconstruct" into something you would expect from Lykke li or Ellie Goulding collaborating with Nosaj Thing.
