Crihan – Recurring Figures [Elements.]
After two steaming EPs from the Romanian duo Alsi alongside Cristi Cons and Priku on remix duties, Elements. is back with its third vinyl-only release with local DJ and producer Crihan at the controls delivering three fresh minimal techno cuts perfect for the dancefloor in the form of “Recurring Figures” EP.
From the heart of Transylvania to the world, Alin Crihan sure has his role well-settled as one of the most intriguing artists coming from Romania. With numerous memorable live performances under his belt, he also collaborated with labels like UVAR, Catren, Haze, Eliptic Records, Playedby, Windmuhle, Naural and Ultrastretch, while smoothly rolling with his own playground Mezin since 2017.
Side A is reserved for “Periodic Arrangement”, a stripped-down groove flavoured with syncopated drumming patterns, solid bass stabs, twisted effects and haunting melodies that spiral into alluring dimensions. On the flip “Regular Intervals” keeps to the same cinematic deepness, revealing a rather introspective composition powered by broken beats, dissonant tones and grainy textures while “Again & Again” drops a chugging microhouse rhythm with a swing, perfect for dimly lighted dancefloors.
