Scan 7 - Dark Territory

Pabence is a virtue well- rewarded in techno; finding the right groove to build on then holding your nerve long enough to pay off the wait at the opbmum moment is a much more skillful endeavour than it would seem for such a minimalisbc style. And few display this talent beUer than Detroit originals Scan 7. Part of the hallowed Underground Resistance family, Scan 7 first broke out in the mid- 90s with a series of jacking machine funk 12”s that showcased their savvy for self- control - a faculty they have demonstrated in releases year-on-year since.

First unleashed on the label in 1996, the album has been remastered from the original DATs by Mike Grinser, augmenbng already powerful tracks such as the snake-like, teasing Unusual Channel (mixed by the master Blake Baxter), and the harder-edged VII resulbng in music that will, without doubt, provoke an enhanced response when the pressure is finally released. Repressed on vinyl with updated artwork, these tracks sbll sound like a blueprint for the future, testament to the prescience and assurance Scan 7’s leader, Trackmaster Lou, clearly had when wribng “I hope you enjoy my records in the phuture to come” in the sleeve notes nearly 30 years ago.
