Following up to his latest offering on Cabrera, 'Anemic Lust', Kastil returns to the label this Fall with 'Diode' - a four-track slice of mind-intruding floor heroics assorted with a special revamp from Madrid techno legend and Warm Up Recordings mastermind, Oscar Mulero. Skippering us across shrinking corridors of night-hunting four-to-the-floor, through verbed-out industrial meanders and bloopy post-apocalyptic dubs, Kastil lays down a much compelling arsenal of bespoke peak-time destroyers and further off-piste divagations. Sinking deep below the surface, the title-track casts a veiled threat upon the dancefloor with its hall-of-mirror-like interplays, which Mulero makes sure to morph into one of his trademark opaquely-textured, passive-aggressive churners, to the ravers' delight. On the B-side, 'Drain' scans a further retro-laced acidic scope, its genetically modified bass yo-yoing intensely as loud kicks and fiery hats lead the charge. Rounding off the package in the sharpest fashion, 'Perform' delves into a further minimal array of elements but pounds away with maximal effect. Feel the burn.
