MTRON010

cestrian (aka ali renault) lands on mechatronica for the berlin label's 10th release with a remarkably wide electro-driven ep, exploring different rims of the genre from the transporting melodic peripheries and weirder edges, to the raw core.

two hypnotizing journeys in "gradients" and "rake & pikel" make up the a-side along with the frenzied styles of "cat strain". "speak & spell" blasts open the flip with an anthemic groove and potent basslines, before "the weir" rounds off the ep in heavy and atmospheric fashion, concluding an essential electro record - for the mind and for the floor.
