With Force EP, the Berghain resident offers four congenial techno scenarios for club use. The signal horn on the record's eponymous track starts as sudden as the staggered kick drum, reoccurring throughout the cut's six minutes. Sidewalk puts more focus on synth - like it's predecessor a techno cut per se, but with a stronger accent on hypnotic motifs. Melting Planets is slightly slower than the other three and the bass drum sounds extra vivid - a lulling, mesmerizing meditation in dub techno. Striking Patterns combines bone-dry bass drum hits and distinctive brazen noises, pulsing synths pads, and sizzling sounds. Force, Pavement, Melting Planets, Striking Patterns
