    Havantepe - Catepillar EP Havantepe - Catepillar EP
    Havantepe - Catepillar EP Barcelona-based net and vinyl label Pong Musiq has to date served up a steady fare of dub techno goodness to rival the likes of Baum, Styrax and Millons of Moments. But their new green vinyl 12-inch from Berliner Ismail Genc, AKA Havantepe, makes most on the dub techno menu seem like meat and two veg compared to this sumptuous three course meal.

    For starters, Havantepe serves up a rich, flowing tapestry of dance floor dub techno flavoured with multiple layers of beautifully worked bass production that comes and goes in the mix as much as the steaming runs of echo. The contrast of acid pads and steely chords near the track's end is an extra touch of class. For the main course, the epic "Butterfly" drifts into being, slowly unfurling about a driving kick drum. There's a sweet menace in the flutter of percussion and the incessant lure of the low chords when at full flight, with even a hint of dubstep over the main 4/4.

    Luke Hess's dessert is the perfect accompaniment to the main meal. Minimally styled and thus lighter to digest, it nonetheless captures the same urgent taste of the original. Patiently building in intensity, it rounds off a delirious feast.
