Hegstraction - O: The Hypnotic Series
I love a good concept and this ambitious project from English Techno head Harry Halmshaw, aka Hegstraction, tickles my fancy. Entitled, 'The Hypnotic Series', the aim is to release twelve tracks, each denominated by a single letter that, when combined in order, will eventually spell out the word SOMNAMBULISM. (We're on the second track atm.) The series isn't about sleepwalking though, it's about capturing the celebrated Trance-induced state of the dedicated floor reveller.
O carries an alluring Delsin-vibe, particularly in the rugged and somewhat off-centre Techno of Mike Dehnert (which ain't a bad comparison by any means). We'll need to hear the whole series in a oner before confirming if a higher state has been reached, but judging by the first two entrants, it's on course.
The Hypnotic Series is released via Halmshaw's own Bad Haz Techno label.
