Internal Space

Martinez is the darling of the minimal tech-house scene thanks to his ‘Minimal Deepness’ release and a remix of Phil Stumpf’s last EP. But anyone expecting an album’s worth of effortless linear grooves will be sorely disappointed. There’s the excellent broken beat weirdness of ‘Forever Whatever’, the kind of track you’d expect to crop up on Bpitch Control, while ‘Plumflowers’ is a cool jacking affair. However, too much of ‘Space’ is dedicated to old fashioned prog-tinged tech-house. If Internal Space was an EP, it would have been great. But it’s not.
