Ardalan and Farsight are accomplished musicians in their own right. Peruvian-American Farsight has had a string of recent releases on labels like Scuffed, Cloudcore, and most recently, Rinse FM's label, having also delivered a top-notch set for Boiler Room in which he debuted "Cerebral Peanut" from this EP.

Iranian-born Ardalan has been spreading his nascent party brand Ardy Party all over North America while maintaining a dynamic range in styles from releases on Pets Recordings, Toy Tonics, and Dirtybird. The two have joined forces to significant effect and deliver a release that exemplifies the label's commitment to reimagining classic electro.

The rugged "2 Yr Town" rides on coruscated analog beats with lashings of synth and warped acid lines spraying about the mix. Chattery percussive patterns, off-grid hits, and a dark vocal all bring the whole thing to life in an arresting fashion. The fantastically wonky "Cerebral Peanut" then ups the ante with brilliantly fluid synths and clanging hits over a turbocharged electro rhythm that looks to the future. It's a vibrant sound with an all-new sense of character.

Club Designs alumni and Slab Events founder Max Ulis is known for his musical adventures on Sloth Boogie, Pacific Rhythm, and Vrnt. He skillfully flips the "2 Yr Town" on its head and re-engineers it as a late-night shoulder roller perfect for 4 am warehouse sets.
