When Sounds Collide debut EP by Pete Nouveau

When Sounds Collide is the debut release on the Berlin based Elektrotribe label from Australian dj & producer, Pete Nouveau.

The When Sounds Collide EP  consists of three original tracks Minus, Nouvacaine & Hang The Canary, plus Minus (Moog Conspiracy Mix) and Nouvacaine (Breger Mix).

Pete Nouveau has produced a great slice of rich house and ‘groovy’ minimal techno, good enough for any pulsing, deep trance club dancefloor, especially the original mix of Minus – love it.  Minus is anthemic minimal techno at its best.  It’s difficult to put into words why it works – it just does!

The Moog Conspiracy remix of Minus keeps the warped deep throbbing bass beat of the Original Mix, but uses effects as a filler.  I prefer the more atmospheric Original Mix, with its repetitive, dark & moody open sound. Less is more here.

Nouvacaine errs further towards a house ‘groove’ . The Breger Mix is a good imporovement on the Original Mix.

The skipping, rolling drum beat of the final track, Hang The Canary again shows there is a funkier house element to Nouveau’s minimal techno production.  Hang The Canary reminds me of Minilogue. Uplifting minimal techno with a house music vibe.

The When Sounds Collide EP has left me wanting to hear more from Pete Nouveau.  I hope those good people at Elektrotribe have more releases lined up.

Pete Noveau – When Sounds Collide EP gets two big thumbs up from Buzzin Electronic Music and should be heard in all good minimal techno clubs this year.

Pete Noveau – When Sounds Collide EP is available now from Elektrotribe Records.
