Description
2020, 12″ EP, Ilian Tape.
In recent times the Zenker Brothers seem to have spent more time running their inspired Ilian Tape imprint than they have producing music. While we’d hardly criticize their choices – Ilian Tape goes from strength to strength – it’s certainly good to have them back. The Munich-based siblings begin their first outing of 2020 with the melodious, far-sighted electro shuffle of “Shaketown”, before wrapping mangled, mind-altering electronic riffs around a crunchy techno groove of “Chi Boost”. “Bengel Mode” sees the siblings successfully combine alien-sounding riffs with a denser techno rhythm track, while closing cut “Outside” is a sparkling trip into hypnotic, slow-release ambient techno territory with nary a kick-drum in sight. – Juno
