when i was listening to the radio show "elektroniskt i p2", which is hosted by andreas tilliander, i heard a segment about mika hallbäck aka grovskopa's new project rivet and was fascinated. previously i had seen the article on the rivet on resident advisor but i wasn't to up on the tracks featured except for "sleepwalker". the rest was techno that i wasn't feeling at the time really and i know i didn't take a full listen to "grifter" because i would have been in love for the second half.
"grifter" starts sort of mundane with a telephone call in french which then goes into a kick drum that has either a reverbtrail or is compressing something. as the track builds you hear a small dialtone everytime a new element is brought on and right up to the first two minutes it was like any other techno. which is why i discarded the track as standard material in october when i read that article.
past that point a distorted bassline carried on with a drumbreak is being filtered in and this is what caught my ear yesterday. hallbäck sampled this loop from baby d's hardcore rave classic "let me be your fantasy" and that is a track that i love. that section especially is something that i dispised when i was younger but is nowadays, for all i care, the main course.
this element does bring something special to the track as it's so dominant and heavy but hallbäck does also back it up with additional sounds so it works well in the mix. proper banging techno music,
listen here (resident advisor)
note, it's vinyl only as skudge's label who put this out is a vinyl only label.
