Joy Marquez, Chriss Lerman, Abdel Karim - The Teacher EP [SMD098]

The 98th release on Suffused Music welcomes Joy Marquez, Chriss Lerman and Abdel Karim for their debut EP. The Mexican trio have been frequent studio partners in recent months with originals and remixes recorded for Joy's 76 Records imprint. The trio's tech house inspired productions have been making waves on underground dance floors since last December and their debut for Suffused Music looks to be their strongest work to date.

The EP gets underway with 'Can You Hear Me' which finds the trio crafting a unique techno construction. Beginning with tough minded beats the track goes on a journey of quirky designs and unconventional patterns. Processed vocals make for a cool sequence of hooks while a vibrant complement of drums keeps the groove quite lively. As the piece strips down the vocal storyboard continues with warped mods taking you further into a tripped out vortex, which ultimately sets up a killer third act and rousing conclusion.

The second selection 'Piece Of Mind' picks the tempo up nicely with a shuffling groove and more psychedelic designs. The trios vocal processing is in the spotlight once again along with warped lines and quirky stabs leading the charge. Grinding synths and ravenous sonic designs further obliterate the senses through a disturbing middle section while breakbeat patterns and drum fills deliver a massive finale.

The EP concludes with what might be its grooviest selection in 'Teacher'. Vocal thematics and a tough, chunky groove provide boundless energy while another impressive array of effects keeps your attention locked. A drum heavy middle section adds tension and a thrilling rush of electronics provides a wicked conclusion to the EP. Three strong tracks from Joy Marquez, Chriss Lerman and Abdel Karim which make for a superb debut on Suffused Music. Don't miss it.
