Drum machine freak, vinyl creep, dance music otaku. So reads the refreshingly concise bio of California’s Vin Sol, a highly regarded and unique electronic artist with previous releases on labels such as Phonica and Unknown to the Unknown. Never one to shy away from delving in to the past for inspiration, his inaugural release for Tenth Circle sees him hitting the acid hard, with bubbling 303-inspired leads and sweeping synth lines very much the order of the day. Title track ‘Space Relations’ boasts both of these traits in abundance, with the tightly restrained lead brutally opened up as the track progresses creating truly euphoric dramatic tension. ‘Loose Pulse’ is more direct, with a huge acid line dominating the musical palette. Raw and direct, this will surely be dominating tougher deep house dancefloors for months to come.
