Review: Anoesis - Idios Kosmos EP (Cyphon Recordings)

A couple of years ago we had the 'Metacognition' EP that contained the hit 'Voxelle', so it's been a wait for the new Anoesis release on Cyphon Recordings, 'Idios Kosmos' EP.

One thing we know about Cyphon, is that they don't just release any old "abstract electronica and Detroit-inspired futurism" within their electro, techno and deep house remit, and this new EP is no exception as the London based Anoesis gets this 5-tracker ready for any dark rave warehouse party.

And there's no bigger track than 'Big Noodle' that messes with breaks and chopped up 90s rave; intelligent but what about a Ragga Twins remix?

Most folks would be happy with a 'Big Noodle' but 'Feeling Go' could equally be viewed as next level sub-Oizo with "looped-up vocal sample with driving, housey grreoove" in a trippy basement plumbing underworld.

Not only that, the title track nails rave DNA with it's early 90s breakbeat foundations. Having said all that, 'Lovely' is the 'now' softer edge that can be slipped in anywhere whilst 'Reptile Skin' is the kraut-rough edged opposite!

 

There will always be a revivals of classic dance floor eras and 'Idios Kosmos', as an EP, is more than even DJ Billy Bunter can handle.  

"Shut up and dance", I hear you say - and I will.
