Echoplex makes a triumphant return with his latest EP, Light Strike, on Soleil Records, which as fans of the underground will know delivers real and proper techno for the heads. After overcoming some adversity, he presents a revitalised sound that blends classic techno with fresh energy and his usual meticulous sound design. The EP features a floor-facing mix of haunting pads, pulsating rhythms, and bold experimentation that starts deep on 'Shift You' and end much more intense with 'The Gates'. In between is the silky dub of 'Embrace' and the high-speed funk of 'Light Strike'.
