GIOID - Variable Dimensions
Tracklisting (in order):
1. Mivedi
2. Hiding In The Midnight Train
3. Variable Dimensions
Engineering forward thinking electronic music. It’s an ethos that sits at the core of the UK house & techno imprint. High fidelity sonic sound and learned production sit at the forefront of the labels output. Catch Recordings latest cut delivers on those very sentiments.
Little is known about Gioid aka Giorgi Mikeladze, his music is as minimal as his guise and notoriety. Catch are renowned these days for showcasing new and extremely talented producers and this EP picks up expertly where the last one left off. The Georgian producer channels ambient and atmospheric dub techno influenced by the Italian techno scene to pull together a quality cut of underground dub techno.
The pack kicks off with ‘Mivedi’. Alien twangs echo across subtle minimal percussion as soft kicks push through the mid frequencies, carrying the track forward. Mesmeric in nature, the opening track showcases minimal yet enchanting production creating a hypnotic rhythm that entices you from the get go.
‘Hiding In The Midnight Train’ picks up the pace a little more. Filtered percussion showered in reverb patters around the deep dubby baseline, with soft synths and muffled vox samples pulling everything together supremely. Subtle sci-fi clicks and bleeps drop in and out as the single progresses into the latter stages, its simplicity and effortless structure.
The fourteenth release of the imprint ends with lead track ‘Variable Dimensions’, saving the best ’til last it seems. The instant thud of the kick drum takes centre here, this one has a much chunkier club feel to it already. Sporadic hats spatter in the intro and once again ambient alien chords and percussion take over with a bubbling ‘aquatic’ bass filling the gaps in between. Progressive and mesmeric in nature all 3 singles really hone in on the nubbier side of techno with Catch once again choosing to push new wave talent and pioneering the ambient techno sound.
