OPTIC NERVE aka KEITH TUCKER - Augmentations EP [clear vinyl 12"]

Format: clear vinyl 12"
Catalogue No.: PBX38
Release Date: Oct 2026
Genre: Techno

Keith Tucker's Optic Nerve alias remains one of the more reliable vehicles for pure, unadorned Detroit machine funk, and 'Augmentations' delivers on that promise with serious style. 'Augmented 1' opens up in stripped-down and functional fashion with throbbing drums and evolving synth modulation built specifically for the late-night hours. 'Augmented 2' is the real highlight with a rolling bassline and eerie strings creating a sense of drift while keeping enough rhythmic intensity to hold the floor. 'Augmented 3' closes things on abstract, cinematic terms, all tension and pulsed chords. Sparse but never thin, this is confident, disciplined techno with unmistakable Motor City roots running through every track.
