On TECH045, Luciano Esse brings finely tuned machine rhythms with a human soul to the TECHNO Records catalogue. The producer describes the record as having an old-school heart and a modern energy. You can hear both in the producer's direct, charged delivery.Played in sequence, the tracks unfold like six scenes in a technological thriller. The machines keep moving, and the human figure at the centre of it all has to find a way through. By the final track, there’s room for a more sensual feeling and relief.In a set, those scenes take on a different shape. The percussion can keep the pressure up from one track to the next. After a quieter passage, that same brute force feels like a sudden surge.TECH045 is a tool that rewards a skilled hand and a record for listeners who know what they’re after. At its core, it’s straightforward, driving peak-time techno with a strong percussive focus.
