Setaoc Mass - Satellite

  • Impossibly professional techno that just hits right.

  • Sometimes a techno track just hits, and it can be hard to articulate why. Imagine trying to explain the title track from Setaoc Mass's new EP to someone who isn't into techno. Why is it so good? Is it because every element feels kinetic and in perpetual motion—the percolating chords, that vibrating woodpecker thing—as if they were all on separate but synchronized conveyer belts? Is it the huge kicks, which both fill up the room and leave a chasm of empty space in their reverb vapour trails? Is it the pacing, where elements come and go at just the right time, to keep your attention on the dance floor no matter how... out there you might be at any given moment? It's some combination of all three, another ace track from a remarkably consistent producer.
