NICOLA CRUZ — Telemagenta EP

Traversing wormholes and flexing versatility, Nicola Cruz gets back on his club-ready biz. No proper introductions needed here. Sometimes you just have to sit back and appreciate someone at the top of their game. The third portal thing, done masterfully. Hats off. Time-honoured templates that provide the foundations for his hybrid mutations. Three mescaline-strength techno incursions backed up with a vivid projection of fractal electro. Big on murk. Properly steeped in introspection, expanding consciousness and horizons. The vision quest endures for the duration. New levels of insectoid detail and lysergic flourish revealed with every close listen, but he’s always keeping it robust. Giving it chest with some serious dancefloor dramatics until the final unfurling.
