The Southern presents Cracking The Jack
Italian techno innovator, The Southern joins Chris Liebing's celebrated CLR imprint.
Art by CLR
Carmine Portarulo, aka The Southern, has risen through the ranks, becoming a regular on the international stage at clubs and festivals like ADE and Harry Klein. His stripped-back but cooling techno has found a home on labels like Tronic, Intec, and Rawthing, and he now makes his boldest statement yet on the legendary CLR.
This EP opens up with "Crackin Jack," a belting track with hammering drum funk underneath dark vocal loops, as streamlined synths race along with increasing intensity. Things get even rawer and textured on "Killa Jack," which brings frazzled synth stabs beneath tightly looped human voices. The superb "Switch Master" drives ahead with edgy synths bringing a sense of suspense, which, layered with deft details and pulsing effects ensures a maximum techno rush.
