Framed & Formed Vol. 2

This double pack from Iron Box’s back catalogue is the ideal opportunity to check out this excellent techno imprint. Taking influence from Detroit and Berlin, these warm and mournful dance floor tracks exude a sophistication and individuality sadly lacking in electronic music: there’s the warm bass of ‘Nothing’ by Nimbus, the vocal-led abstractions of ‘Float’ by Rasmus Hedlund, the throbbing low end and shimmering chords on Kalle M’s ‘Ekst’ and label boss Brian Aneurysm delivers chopped up abstract rhythms.
