3TH, a new label founded by Ascion, D. Carbone and the newcomer Lucindo, brings its first release featuring aforementioned three and unknown fourth artist, the mysterious 3TH. D.Carbone opens the door with a powerful menacing acid-techno delirium that can cause serious destruction on the floor as its sinister acid synth creeps up slowly, riding the punishing beat. The damage continues with 3TH's raw and devastating tunnel-techno track that has its force in a saturated whistle. The total absence of light is enhanced by reversed break-games that turn up a mesmerizing and circular synth-line. Ascion gives his contribution with a sharp offbeat track full of edgy structures and complex rhythms. The destructive force is ensured by metallic hats, noisy claps, saturated beats and a nasty rolling arpeggio that drag the floor into the no-way- back vortex. Lucindo's "The Twenty-Ninth act" is a sophisticated one where a dark endless bass-line is kept in the background, to give an enough emphasis to a classy ping- pong between open and closed hats that are followed by dramatic layers of pads and strings.
