erast - goodair+minimissing (laboratory instinct)

...we come back presenting you the next two laboratory instinct releases. don’t forget that this is not a trendy label. the very concept of the sound they treat makes you conclude that. the already established general break concept with the opening compilation, is fully developed on their second release. these are actually two ep releases (LI002ep and LI003ep) signed by erast. you might be already familiar with erast under his other name nikakoi. goodair is full of solid break sound with a contemporary production on one side and warp reminiscence on the other. hard rhythm that meanders from break into drum n bass in which string parts are penetrating. right away the fast and contemporary jungle takes over everything. the second part i.e. minimissing is here somewhere continuing from where goodair has left, between the break/drum n bass rhythms, strings and speedy plaid and idm moments. in a way transporting the exciting nightlife of tokyo into music. everything is very fast, powerful, intensive, but likewise ends too soon. the impression is strong. at the very end there is a remix of ‘georgianintokyo’ by the well known latino freak atom™. with which he tries to add in his own noisy experimental moments, cut ups and latino aspects in an electro variation. quite interesting interpretation. plus the release has a perfect design (by as1, www.infinitranfoprmation.com). Although we’ve already concluded that drum n bass and the break rhythm, as well as the idm and warp sound are passé, their interpretation today with the contemporary production offers some possibilities. after all this is not a trendy label and it doesn’t release a trendy sound.
