“Though one is struck initially by SubvaritraxTM’s distinctive pharmaceutical packaging, the comp’s presentation is trumped by the potency of the medication itself. Virtually a primer for current electronic music trends<\/strong>, the release collects what could be the best bits from imaginary comps by Merck, Neo Ouija, Spectral Sound, and M-Nus into an 80-minute, 17-track set. Such largesse is often wearying but [it] maintains interest by extending the stylistic range beyond a single genre…<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A terrific<\/strong> outing by the Chicago-based subVariant imprint, the ‘instrumental neuro-stimulant’ Subvaritrax more than makes good on its promise to treat Sonic Mediocrity Overexposure (SMO) with a therapeutically forward-thinking mix of melodic IDM and glitchy minimal techno.” <\/em>-Ron Schepper, TEXTURA.\u00e2\u20ac\u0153<\/p>\n

Sparkling streams of glistening melodies unfurl throughout Phylum Sinter’s (Detroit-based Christopher Todd) \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Monastic Phase,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sense’s (Melbourne musician Adam Raisbeck) \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Gift,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and Ochre’s (Chris Leary) buoyant epilogue \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Copacetia\u00e2\u20ac\u009d while boisterous breaks splatter and flail in tracks by Marshall Watson and Quench (aka Funckarma, Netherlands-based Don and Roel Funcken). edIT’s (Ed Ma, Planet-Mu) fabulous stutter-crunk oasis \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Spare Spork\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is an album highlight, as is … [the] Quantazelle cut \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Late Blazing Kinch Theme,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d an entrancing intertwine of scurrying percolations and harp melodies. On the techno front, Frederique Garvin drops twitchy, bass-throbbing machine-funk in \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Not So Hot,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Derek Michael coaxes whirrs and groans from his gear in \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Similak Jiggles,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and Matthew Mercer and Detroit Underground label head Kero (Sohail Azad) take schaffel strolls in their respective outings. While R_Garcia’s gleefully stomping, arcade-flavoured \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Honkeywrench\u00e2\u20ac\u009d impresses too, the album’s peak arrives with Popkan’s (Tom Erdmann) \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Broken Lighter,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d a tasty sampling of funky, M-Nus-styled minimal house. While Erdmann’s micro-sampled field of blips, smears, and croaks sounds incredible, it’s the little kick he adds to the tail end of the warping bass line that’s pure genius<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
