KARIM MAAS / STAVE / GREBENSTEIN / SANDWELL DISTRICT / NEGATIVE AFFECT - Out Of Practice Vol 2 (Part 1)

Format: 12" Vinyl
Catalogue No.: STANPRAC013-1
Release Date: 07 Sep 2026
Genre: Techno

If you're looking for some hi-fidelity techno that is about atmosphere and sound design as much as muscular rhythmic power, this one is for you as Standards & Practices returns with more thoughtful tackle across three EPs. Electro, half-time, dub and breaks are all chucked into the mixer here with Karim Maas opening with the unsettling emptiness of 'Positive Beliefs.' Stave & Grebenstein's 'Live Room' is a collage of texture and static with only the merest suggestion of rhythmic form, and Sandwell District offer a supple and deep techno vision on 'Le Coq Sportif.' Negative Affect's 'Sleep Walker' has menacing swagger to shut down a proper decent selection.
