Litwinenko comes flying over the boards with his first solo EP for

Detroit Underground. This release, as always, „from the ruins of the

birthplace of techno“, represents the first solo artist EP for the

Detroit based avant-garde electronic label. It‘s also the second

offering from Mr. Litwinenko (aka Preed) under his current moniker;

his previous releases can be found on indie-electronic label Kitty-Yo.

Trading one type of black disc for another, the former ice hockey

player cum techno producer pays homage to his previous life giving

us three periods plus overtime with this outstandingly diverse EP.

Entitled “Four Tactics” each track title references an aspect of the

game from procedural rules to major and minor penalties.

Through a combination of influences from Acid (One-Timer) to Minimal Techno

(Tripping, Roughing, Holding) backed up by his signature IDM-Electro

sound (Faceoff, Special Dump’n’Chase), Litwinenko shows us he is

just as smooth on wax as he was on the ice. The album also includes

eight locked grooves, four at the end of each side, making this DU

release not only a pleasure for home listening but also a potent DJ

tool as well. Detroit Underground has certainly shot and scored with

this newest EP
