Dense & Pika | Crispy Duck EP [HFT027]
This heavy interpretation of the contemporary techno movement is most appropriately introduced by the minds behind the Hotflush Soundcloud account:
“Breaking onto the scene in 2011 with a series of hand-stamped white label 12-inches, anonymous duo Dense & Pika re-emerge for their debut on Scuba ‘s Hotflush Recordings.
‘Crispy Duck,’ their 3-track take on modern underground techno, kicks off with a chugging A side, giving serious nods to Detroit and beyond with it’s deadly shuffle. On the flip, Dense and Pika claim the dancefloor with ‘Coil’ a tripped out up-tempo techno track, abound with hi-hats and fist-pumps, followed by ’31′, a rough and ready tune that melds 4/4 with acid and dub grooves. Doing their best to remain incognito, the duo are on course to make 2013 their year.”
Our favorite cut on the record is, without doubt, the title track.

Dense & Pika ‘s Crispy Duck EP will be out via Hotflush on December 3rd 2012.
