Oslo-based label Boring Crew Records (BCR) follows up their vinyl debut with a darker and more focused four-track EP. Liminal Spaces sees the label plant its feet firmly in the space between house and techno. Moodier and more deliberate than its predecessor.
BCR02 opens with Henrik Villard’s Creek, built on cavernous drums, before a driving synth emerges and pulls the track into focus. Solar nods to the gritty tech-house of the early 2000s, with an unrelenting, driving energy.
On the B-side, Anders Hajem’s Simulation drifts into more hypnotic territory. An understated bassline tethers the track while pulsating synths create a coiling, uneasy tension. Vesen closes the EP by picking up the same atmosphere and carrying it forward with a restless energy.
Boring Crew Records’ second vinyl release, Liminal Spaces, offers a deeper and more assured look at a label with a sound very much its own.
