Thimo Konings - How Does One [Arts]

Independent techno label ARTS reaches its half-century with this release, and rather than making a big fuss, they simply continue to do what they've always done: deliver quality music. "How Does One" is pure, energetic techno-funk, with abundant synth details and a charge of static electricity. "Towers Reach" maintains a tight and kinetic focus, with winding melodies and a sleek bassline, while "Sirkel" delves into deeper, darker, and more menacing territory. Timo Konings' mastery of loops persists in the urgent "Covert" and the nervous grooves of "Double Split."
