Fabio T. - Fall Out EP
It's often felt like Fabio's music has failed to live up to the story behind it. In fairness, not much could: here was a young producer born on techno's home turf considers this his passion, his greatest hobby, definitely not a profession.
"Subtractive"'s remix stodgy techno groove is beset by layers of throttled hiss and looped sounds sourced from arcade games. The result is menacing, but without recourse to techno's conventional shorthands for menace. "Brian Burger" remix is deeper, the latter is particularly fine, its layers of ghoulish dub textures rendering it bleak and strange. "Beat Cool Brothers" remix is a tape-muffled synth interlude, is a beatless respite for the most part it's just loping broken-beat kicks and a single pungent sheet of delay, until a red-raw clap snaps things into place at the four-minute mark.
Fall Out it's lean, rugged and ruthlessly efficient, when Fabio T. dropped the original mix the sort of tale of creativity in adversity that press officers dream of, we should have known he meant business.
