ORION – CONCEPT OF DECEPTION

A1. Orion – Concept Of Deception (Original mix)
A2. Orion – That’s Not An Owl (Original mix)
B1. Orion – Medz (Original mix)
B2. Orion – Capsaicin (Original mix)

With its roots firmly in the relentless techno of the ’90s, Absence of Facts presents modern analog-inspired tracks that have been handcrafted and carefully selected in Helsinki, Finland.

The title track Concept of Deception is a funky stomper with polyrhythms and some sweet stabs. That’s Not An Owl takes a twisted, percussive deep direction featuring aural feel of the nocturnal zoo of robots. Medz brings in some synth driven action, six minutes of drive and funk for prime time. And despite being the closing tune, Capsaicin remains the active compound of the EP, stingy and burning as the hottest peppers.

Ferroportal EP comes with a pack of typical Absence of Facts tracks. The title track Ferroportal is bassheavy roller with a hypnotic yet uplifting synth riff.
