Defence - Travelling EP and Baruka - The Lost Funk EP (Night Vision)

There's a little area of Detroit in Scandinavia known as the Night Vision label. In the first of two new releases, Juan Atkins-collaborator Defence offers a tripped-out sci-fi garage track in 'Travelling At The Speed Of Music' which calms down only slightly for the 'Pulse' and 'Flow' extensions. Definitely some Moby influence in this one. Baruka's follow up to 'Play It Loud' includes 'Raver Of The Lost Funk' which builds up over 8 minutes into trickling tickly nouveau acide. Tracks 'Anti Political Behaviour' and 'Circles' have more of a point with their supreme peri-glacial ambience.
