- Strong atmospheric techno from Armenia.
- The Armenian techno producer KamavoSian moonlights in the symphonic black metal band Ghoulchapel, whose spectral atmospherics bleed into his first EP, Sign Of Light. It's not outsider techno—these tracks could've been on a purist outlet like Semantica—but these tunes are unusual for their sense of theatre, from the larger-than-life sound design to how damn long they are.
The title track lasts almost ten minutes. Its synth vapor trail moves as though hurtling across a night sky, ratcheting up the pressure. But there's a twist. Where you might expect an arpeggio there's a sped-up duduk instead, which adds to the EP's celestial feel. Like another highlight, "Obscure (Heavy Mix)," which indulges in bounding breakbeats, "Sign Of Light" is pumping techno with a personal touch.
