Russ Gabriel almost certainly needs no introduction: since 1993, he and his Ferox label have helped define the sound of UK techno, merging elements from Detroit and Chicago into a sound that stands confidently on its own. Russ had been quiet for a few years, until last year he announced the return of Ferox. Now he will release a two tracker on Mobilee with a record that confirms his reputation as one of electronic music's true, enduring greats. Recognizing that power isn't all about brute force, both cuts hypnotize and seduce with elegant constructions and slowly shifting modulations. Simplicity and finesse rule the day.
