Alli Borem – Continuum Gate [Turbo 167]

by Priya Sen November 6, 2014

Tiga’s brain child and hard hitting label ”Turbo Recordings”, advocates club music and how. The label’s latest outing is lashing dance fodder. At the helm of affairs- the very Italian Alli Borem takes out a 3 track dance instigating package, filled with well bred Tech-House grooves. The onslaught begins with ”Continuum Gate”, giving off quirky electronic booty shaking pads on over drive, with generous use of sonic synths as shiny as brass one over the other. A proper sound collage is in effect with all the aforementioned, coming together at once, and what’s even better is that the bass line is clean and cool, driving the entire effort forward.

The second tune- ”Children of The Heart” is a grinding bumping funked out cut, and in more ways than one, paves the way for how one can see modern Tech- Techno pan out in slinky fashion. This one’s got a heavy but restrained skipping groove that’s perfect for late night wiggling. A pumping bass and deep stabbing pads just throw down early acid House and should find favor with Djs who are looking for that jacking fare. The break down assimilates itself in to a crouching Tiger and thereafter you can just let go with this pouncing beauty.
The Minimal sounding ”Turbo Rolling Ride” rounds the pack off with it’s sliding, slipping bass shine over-riding an incredibly polished chord appearance on lush beats that thickens around the room, from the elongated break down hotter, fatter and more alive. Make no mistake about the atmospheric goodness this tune propagates. Great stuff!!
