ARTIST Adam Beyer
TITLE Stereotypes / Selma's Dream
LABEL Cocoon

With similarities to his 'A Walking Contradiction' release on Richie Hawtin's Plus 8 imprint, here Adam delivers one of his finest vinyl moments ever for his debut on Cocoon. Stunning hypnotic grooves and plenty of attention to detail are the order of the day. 2 tracks of pure stripped techno bliss. GET IT!

A1. Stereotypes
B1. Selma's Dream

Your Thoughts?

I really dislike the intro chords on selma's dream. The ritme that follows is nice but not even close to a walking contradiction. I like stereotypes better although it just sounds like another beyer release. Not very special IMO.

This release was a bit disappointing. The main track lacks any hook and the B side is nice but the break is too contrasted. I'm not really into tracks that are all funky and jackin' but turn all sappy and emotional in the breakdown (I call it wigohmy bros syndrome). The production is top notch but the content isn't there as much as his stuff on mad eye and plus 8. Still, the B side has some really great moments.
