"krypteria" comes from a record that i bought around the time of it's release but it wasn't the record i was looking after. i was up in stockholm to get trentemøller's "physical fraction" ep with the divine "prana" & "rykketid" but when that was out i bought the "beta boy" ep with the brilliant "the forest" on the flip. along with it i bought metro area #6 and joel mull's "discotrip" ep.
it's a three tracker with "krypteria" on the flip along with a decent tool called "bump", the titletrack however is awful and hopeless. it's a quite fine piece of techno with great subtleness to it in it's melodic programming. beatport has it listed as house and fact is that pitch it down and it could easily work in a deeper house or techno set. then it would be as a builder but it could even be a peak track if you work it right.
what i love about it is the moody undertones with the strings and all the right minor keys used along the track. the textures that is brought out build a nice soundscape that consist of warm pads and soft keys together with metallic fills and a sturdy beat. all set under a driving bassline that does it's job well, even with it's slight pull back every once a while. well recommended.
buy here (beatport)
i note that the "discotrip" itself isn't available on beatport and i would say it's for the better.
