The Scottish Phuturelabs label and blog is set to drop its next release, a four-song EP from Glaswegian producer and former Numbers collective member Production Unit. Bridge, which comes out later this month, features slow-building tunes that begin with relatively minimal production before climaxing with intensity late in each song. “This Otha Planet” follows that model, relying primarily on a chopped vocal sample to propel it through the first half. The four-on-the-floor kick drum doesn’t enter until three and a half minutes into the tune, at which point “This Otha Planet” develops into a piece of slightly left-of-center, driving techno. For those readers currently in or near Glasgow, Production Unit will be headlining Phuturelabs’ free label showcase tomorrow at The Art School.
