This is a release on Type Records, the label I co-founded with John Xela. John was responsible for its musical output; I contributed in the first few years on design and running the label. The catalogue is archived here for posterity.
Boomkat, which stocked the label, still lists this record, filed under Electronic.
Since upsetting the techno multiverse with 'Man With Potential' last year, ex-Yellow Swan Pete Swanson has tirelessly continued his exploration of the form, quickly breaking it down and moulding it in his image. 'Pro Style' is the result of those experiments, and finds Swanson at his most explosive, with his archetypal searing synthesizer blasts directed over warehouse kicks worthy of the Downwards catalogue. 'Pro Style' is far from Berlin's precise minimalism, instead taking a raw, hands on direction that we haven't heard in the genre for many years.
Made at Type.
