Have I missed something? Arne? Indio "Indio EP" Transmat [12 inch] John Beltran returns with his Indio alias on Transmat after his excellent Brazil flavoured album on Ubiquity Records with tracks that remind on his brilliant album on R&S "Earth & Nightfall". Melodic, deep Detroit Techno from this mastermind filled with groovy percussions, nice synth chords and strings that make clear that music from Detroit still can hit you directly into the heart. "Blue fantasy" aimes on the dancefloor with some cool Hihats, a deep kick and some brilliant synth melodies. "Winter long" is my personal favourite track on this 12 inch, as it starts with those typical amazing John Beltran string chords and brazil influenced percussions combined with a cool bassline before the tracks finally kicks off with some serious beats after 2 1/2 minutes. Simply brilliant! "Inca" is more minimal than the other tracks and also very dancefloor orientated with a very catchy rhythm arrangement and some minimal sparse synth chords, reminding a little bit on Aril Brikha for example. Also featured on the 12 inch is a remix of "Inca" by Josh Wink that doesn't add too much new to the original version. A brilliant record of John Beltran giving hope that Transmat will reach their high quality of the former days again in the future! (Arne Weinberg)
