Canadian John Varuhin serves up the second tasteful EP on Clyde Records, a sublime minimal techno affair across 4 standout tracks. This Vancouver artist is a techno DJ and producer who has also played a purely digital live set in the past. He has a clean, crisp style that comes back from the future and is rich in hi fidelity details that make it truly cinematic. This is a classy and timeless EP of meticulously crafted minimal techno.

Opener Bunker is a spacious track with gooey kick drums rolling deep as slithers of synth and tiny metallic sounds glint and glisten up top. It’s perfectly transcendental, while the excellent Retribution picks up the pace with a sense of silky techno urgency. The unsettling sound of distant automation and darkened synths recall the best of Motor City techno and ensure this one will have the floor locked in. The expertly designed Rainy Day is pure minimalism, with icy hi hats and scuttling little details sure to find favour with fans of Robert Hood. Hugely atmospheric and absorbing, it’s the sort of deep and late night track that’s designed for intimate club rooms. Last of all, Detached Screen is another deep, rolling, perfectly elongated groove design to melt your mind and trap you in the beautiful repetition.
