For its third release Marginal Returns welcomes veteran DJ and producer Controlled Weirdness (London’s Neil Keating) to the label. ‘Tenth Floor’ showcases Keating’s elegant, slanted take on classic techno and electro.
‘Flow State’ is signature Controlled Weirdness – sharp yet perfectly balanced acid-electro, ‘Halfpenny Hatch’ is a sparse but weighty peak-time tool, and the playful UK skip and belltones of ‘Italian Summer’ provides a lighter moment. Detroit meets Deptford on ‘The Art of Blagging’, which concludes the EP masterfully, techno music of the spheres.
