Claudio PRC - Diving Point

  • Share
  • After a lengthy hiatus, Roman imprint Elettronica Romana quietly returned to the techno scene this year with a combination of new artists from the Italian scene and some of the producers that cemented its status as one of Italy's most forward-thinking labels. This is illustrated perfectly in this release, Diving Point, which features young Sardinian producer Claudio PRC and ER veteran Rossella. PRC's original tune is of the same sort of dark techno variety that ER came to be associated with in the early and mid-'00s, with a shimmering chord that arrives every so often to help lighten the mood. It's hard to hear PRC's musique concrete influences within "Diving Point," but its liquid nature doesn't allow for much interference. "Diving Point" glides. Rossella's remix doesn't have the same sort of ease to it; it trades greased wheels for a bumpier and freakier ride. A melody works its way into the background, but never quite reaches the surface completely. A disembodied voice echoes into nothingness. It's a type of minimal techno at its finest. And while it has little to do with Gigli and Dozzy-esque darkness, it nonetheless reminds us that the devil can definitely be found in the details.
