- With the recent, official announcement from Panasonic that they are no longer going to make Technics—in conjunction with the boom in digital DJing formats—the call has been made far and wide that vinyl has seen its last day. However, with labels like Pom Pom, Laid, and Wax still holding on, there's obviously life left in wax. Following on in that vein is Stablo, who have hand-stamped their first release and individually numbered every single one of its 200 copies. Nothing else is known about the label, artist(s) or who pressed them up.
Only designated as "Side A," the first track is an upbeat number with a recurring clap that serves as the steadying metronome throughout. Halfway through, an echoing haunt rings out, making it clear this more than just a tool. Its staggered nature proves whoever is behind this thing has quite a bit of experience in the studio. "Side B" is longer, deeper and more fulfilling. It is constructed for use either building toward a climax or for a twisted late night/early morning affair. It twists, turns, dives, ducks and resurfaces with an "I" vocal sample used to keep it consistently chugging throughout its eleven minutes.
