U.F.O. EP

2X2X2X2 / PNTHR04 / 011125
U.F.O. is all wrong, right? TR-626 drum crashiness with MB33 bass pushed to saturation, this isn't club music, it's end of the line music. 'Wires Move' pulses with the logic of something overheard on the bus, while 'Deep Sky' stretches one simple bassline into six minutes of repetition, which is a good thing! This isn't an 808/909 party, this is Monotribe time. Perhaps when electronic music was still all about falling over. No algorithms and no social network approved this racket. Press play and report back what you find. Mercy!

Island 1987 EP

2X2X2X2 / PNTHR03 / 011125
This release lands (ha!) with a title that falls the wrong side of, err wrong. ‘Island 1987’. Is this the Isle of Man, is this Anglesey, is 1987 the year the TR-626 was released, I dunno. I do know that 'Panther Two 2' prowls through five minutes of blown bass and incessant percussion (MORE claps!) with the Monotribe pushed to a point of resonant feedback. Welcome to machine music, made in the gaps between the wanted and the not wanted. Four tracks that refuse to sit still or make sense on first listen. Exactly as intended. Oh mercy!

Green Light EP

2X2X2X2 / PNTHR02 / 011125
4 tracks of sweaty, sideways electronics. Sweaty! 'Run Run Dance' locks into a groove then keeps on and on and on, while 'And' buries whatever's being said under five minutes of low-end and off-kilter rhythm and then decides to fall over. Tempo fixed at about 124 or so and pedals left running until they start doing something unintended. No surprises, no spectral journeys, just the sound of boxes making decisions that probably seemed right at the time. These tracks work the body and confuse the head in equal measure. Zero mercy.

Insight EP

2X2X2X2 / PNTHR01 / 011125
Here’s where the 4/4 beat starts to mutate before lifting off. 'Suddenly' stretches past four minutes, the bassline cycling until it reaches a place of hypnosis. And 'Just The Way' takes even longer to make its point, or maybe deliberately avoids making one. Panther House Garage Electronics, the kind made during short sessions when no-ones watching. Basslines and drum patterns repeat and repeat, this is TR-626 dance music with the persistence of a G-Shock. Give me mercy.
