For its 23rd release, Berlin-based Italian label Out-ER welcomes techno fellows DJ Spider and Phil Moffa for V EP .

The collaboration between the Italian label and the two techno producers, follows a meeting in NYC between Out-ER co-founder Simone Gatto at the producers headquarter Gatto always appreciated the artists musical peculiarity and, generally, supports distorted electronic sounds, which anyway already found space on the label s previous releases thanks to the efforts of The Analogue Cops, Christopher Rau and Marieu.

The label upcoming release is an invigorating, dark electronic affair. The artists declare that V EP is inspired to the celebrated American tv series Visitors , from which we sampled several voices and sounds .

First Contact showcases a powerful bassline and rolling percussions flowing into a funky groove surrounded by various effects and noises in the background, creating an unconscious of a laying persona in surreal, almost industrial atmosphere. Beast As It Is is a broken beat tool exhibiting a few vocals sampled from the science fiction tv series Visitors shaded pads processed with compressors keep mashing with the delays and reverberations, a dissonance stands out for its special, experimental personality. As for the A1, here return the 4/4 percussive groove and sharp hi-hats with Siege , offering a vigorous, noisy aura that melts with an obsessive and hypnotic melody, wisely distorted by the two producers. Busted Main is a two-minutes ambient piece which alternates crawling pads, morbose synth lines and other clouded, sampled voices for start to end, originating a sinister air. Tang Dream is the last dancefloor-friendly tracker of the EP debuting with a windy ambient intro, the one-minute premise evolves to a solid 4/4 affair characterized by a with a vigorous beat which gets lightened by clean sparks and tribal textures.
