DOWNLOAD: John Daly - Count Down to Zero
For many producers and fans alike, techno is synonymous with futurism and forward thinking. So it's actually somewhat surprising when a producer decides to look the other way, to the roots of electronic music as we know it, for inspiration. John Daly works with the prototypical palattes of Ash Ra Tempel, Cluster and Tangerine Dream when crafting his tunes, which are counterbalanced by the contemporary styles of deep-house and dub. It's fitting, then, that his new EP on Wave Music is called "Atlantis," as it unearths some anachronistic-sounding gems. My favorite is the slow hand funk of "Count Down to Zero," whose thick, springy bass line and claps propel the tune through choppy waves of aquamarine melodies and rippling delay. As with the rest of the EP, it's not quite dancing underwater, but it does take you back in the tides of time.
