ALLAN FEYTOR — Orbit

Allan Feytor – Orbit appears as the newest 12-inch offering from Noir Music (catalogue NM003), delivering a concise four-track journey through acid techno. Issued on 6 August 2020, the record showcases a producer praised by the label for meticulous craftsmanship and a cohesive selection of cuts that sit comfortably within Noir Music’s evolving catalogue. Within Noir Music’s timeline, Orbit follows the earlier “Pneuma” (NM002, 2020) and precedes a series of releases that arrived in 2021 and 2022, including Ten Ven’s “Sound Of Mind Vol. 1” (NMW073) and the “Disruptions EP” (NMW111). This positioning highlights the label’s commitment to forward-looking techno while maintaining a through-line of dark, hypnotic aesthetics. Side A opens with “Orbit”, a title-driven piece that establishes the record’s orbiting momentum through a looping, resonant framework that invites DJs to layer it into the early phases of a set. Its companion, “Apocalyptic”, shifts the tone subtly, offering a more urgent pulse that builds tension and serves as a natural bridge toward the B-side. On side B, “Ecliptic” continues the orbital motif, delivering a spacious, rolling groove that works well for transitional moments, allowing the mix to breathe before the final cut. “Gravity” grounds the EP with a weightier, driving rhythm that pulls the energy down, making it an effective closing statement or a powerful tool for peak-time peaks. In the context of Allan Feytor’s output, Orbit marks a debut on Noir Music, reflecting a period of heightened creativity in 2020. The record’s tight sequencing and attention to detail underscore the producer’s ability to craft tracks that not only stand alone but also complement each other, reinforcing the label’s curatorial vision. For DJs, the EP offers a versatile toolkit: “Orbit” and “Ecliptic” provide atmospheric backdrops suitable for warm-up or late-night slots, while “Apocalyptic” and “Gravity” deliver the kinetic thrust needed for more intense moments. Collectors will appreciate the concise format and the way each track occupies its own space while contributing to a unified sonic narrative. The release arrives as a standard 12-inch vinyl, aligning with Noir Music’s preference for analog formats that preserve the raw edge of acid techno.
