For our money the finest release from the mysterious CV313 to date, head straight for the flip and the immense "Saraya", a kind of padded vocoder session that takes the robust pads of Maurizio and layers them with slivers of pitched synths and squashed vox, a beautiful twilight track that manages to keep it deep without sounding derivative. "Motor" is a more stripped-down affair, a quasi electroid skeleton dictating proceedings while the percussion is kept to a clipped 4/4 template that works a treat. The title track, meanwhile, is the most euphoric and playful of the 3 tracks, if the echospace axis could be said to ever have written a peak-time track, this would probably be it. Great stuff - Limited copies! -Boomkat

Rumours abound about CV313, their connection to the Echospace camp adding much fuel to the various theories doing the rounds at the moment about just who it might be behind the controls. Following on from the long sold out "Dimensional Space" 12" for Echospace, "Affiniti" is a more progressive beast, with "Galaxy 313" somehow situating itself between Convextion's low-end reductions, Rod Modell's stretched chords and Carl Finlow's electroid variations. The result offers a fresh permutation for dub techno, giving more prominence to the percussive structure and even throwing in the kind of gargantuan bass grind beloved of dubstep or the more bottom-heavy work of Andy Stott. "Oceans", meanwhile, delivers a beatless coda that's like Echospace's Coldest Season material except stripped of the Space Echo, while "Affiniti" uncuffs any generic restrictions and provides a much more direct dancefloor missive, with one-note bass hits and synthetic effects included. -Boomkat
