Dean Grenier & Pilo - Portra 400

This past Friday the Turbo Recordings Soundcloud account posted two tracks from Dean Genier and Pilo's upcoming collaborative EP Take Form. Offering up the 2nd and 4th tracks of the fivesome due out April 19th on the Twin Turbo imprint, it was the latter "Portra 400" that most caught my ear. As though following the life cycle of a freshly planted flower, the track grows slowly stronger, bigger and more beautiful. The time lapse shows it wavering, almost shivering in the wind, bending this way and that as the anything but organic sounds breath life into the most earthly of lifeforms. As mesmerizing and entrancing this growth is, it's not until the flower petals burst forth from the bud (shortly after the 3 minute mark) that we become fully aware of the power and beauty of "Portra 400." That said, there is no big wow moment or singular sensational section, but rather the entire five minute production is a gently growing, life-giving, bed of tactile techno.
