October - Elephants/Medium - 12" Vinyl

While October may be better known to techno heads for his recent run of cool minimalism for Caravan records, he's also familiar to the Breakstep crew for his older output on Vertical Sound and Dangerous Drums. Fellow Bristolians Immerse records are well aware of this and have plucked out a couple of Breakstep workouts from the archive circa 2003 for their latest plate. We can envisage 'Elephants' getting the most play from the hardcore steppers due to it's overweight drums and overt darkside atmospheres, which surprisingly still sound as dutty as anything else out there in 2009. 'Medium' on the flipside is a useful tool, cut at 125bpm with a rolling breaks structure for potential compatibility with all sorts of styles. For fans of older TRG, Kontext or Baobinga.
