Reset Robot is a man about town in current techno trends, with releases on the like of Dubfire’s enigmatic Sci&Tec imprint, Fergie’s Excentric Records, 100% Pure and 8-sided Dice and co-producers ranging from Christian Smith to Alan Fitzpatrick. His beautifully produced sound oozes natural rhythms and textures, while keeping it strictly groove orientated. SOMA welcome Reset Robot on his debut release with the label!

Up first, La Porte plays on sliced & spliced vocals and a huge synth part that bounds in and out, keeping the groove moving. Tight and terse percussion layer one on top of another adding depth in the mix, while the vocal cuts filter up and down letting everything swing. The beauty of this track lies in the groove sitting steady and allowing the swells to develop organically. As the changes are subtle and timely, the track flows in a manner great tech-house ought to. With festival season soon approaching – La Porte is an essential for causing it on the floor.



On the flip, Se Deplacer is built on the same foundations, but opts for a slightly chunkier, but straighter rhythm that is created from heavy-set percussion and a fat bass-line. There are playful undertones in Se Deplacer, as it toys with an up-beat and looping vocal, but don’t be fooled – this ain’t child’s play!



Enjoy!
