Perc trax returns with its 2nd in the pots & pans series, this time around with tracks from misc (sender/klang/resopal), simone tavazzi (analytictrail/perc trax) and oscar (karateklub/lordag). ruling over the a-side are german techno overlords misc, who when not recording for berlin's sender imprint spend their time as niederflur for ritchie hawtin's all conquering m_nus. 'modern times' is build on rolling percussion grooves, a jabbing bassline and a number of short but effective breaks. a perfect dance floor record and a glimpse as to how their forthcoming full ep on perc trax will sound. opening up the b-side is italy's simone tavazzi, who has already had success on perc trax with his 'micro waves ep'. simone's 'pumpkins' is a great example of the shuffling naples sound currently finding favour around the world. with its irresistible bouncing bassline, atmospheric fx and razor-sharp edits, this track is pure energy. finally we have germany's oscar, owner of the much-respected karateklub label who gives us 'my heartz'. the lightest of the tracks on this ep but still with enough dance floor punch to have made it a staple in perc's recent dj sets. endless snare rolls glide across a tech-house groove to create an edgy vibe that works perfectly as a dj tool or a peak time track.
