Release: CABANNE/BINH/PRIKU – Textures I-III

“As label statements go, the Textures series from Concrete has been superbly successful in transferring the ethos of their increasingly legendary Sunday boat parties to a label format; the diverse approach to DJ bookings matched by a wonderfully far reaching spread of artists across the three Textures 12″s. Previous instalments have seen contributions from Abdulla Rashim, Jared Wilson, Bleak, Sampling As An Art and Awanto 3 and this final record of the showcase series demonstrates Concrete’s willingness to embrace the techier fare. Telegraph’s Jean-Guillaume Cabanne hogs the A Side and represents Concrete’s desire to embrace local talent, whilst Club der Visionare resident Binh offers a stripped down but smudgy highlight in the form of “Hufer”. Priku ends the series in requisite style with “Mare Mirare” and his presence demonstrates Concrete is aware of Romania’s current status within minimal circles. It remains intriguing to see what Concrete have planned next after such an impressive start.”
