about

Gary Beck returns to Mutual Rytm as he unveils a selection of impactful cuts across his debut 12” on the label, ‘Upside Criminal’.

BEK Audio boss and Glasgow techno mainstay Gary Beck has long been a key figure in the scene with a unique sound that has shaped a vast discography. One of the genre’s best, with appearances across iconic institutions and collaborations with legendary talents, he is a definitive talent. Returning to SHDW’s Mutual Rytm imprint, his new EP lands following his recent appearance on the label’s ‘Federation Of Rytm III’ VA, with the tracks on the package proving as go-to favourites for the label boss over recent months.

“Mutual Rytm has been nothing short of inspirational to me over the last years. I've been playing almost everything from the label, as the tracks really suited what I was selecting in my DJ sets. The high-quality output really got my juices going to create something for the label, and I was delighted when Marco liked what I sent. This EP signals exactly where I am musically. I'm an absolute sucker for tracks with relentless groovy energy and little breaks, so it felt like a perfect fit. Tracks from the EP have been an absolute joy to play in my sets recently, and I'm so excited to deliver this EP on my current favourite label, Mutual Rytm.” - Gary Beck.

The powerful 'Upside Criminal' kicks off with hammering drums and pounding hits that create an inescapable wall of sound that will dominate dance floors of any size. There is more loopy energy to 'Sambana' with its ever more jagged synth stabs and fizzing drum textures while 'Pepper Track' is a futuristic techno workout with rattling snares and mutant synth details peeling off the straight-up groove. 'Rejected' is built around trapped vocal fragments that swirl about the mix to a disorientating effect as the high-speed drums and sheet metal synths race onwards, ‘while Ghost' closes out with a subtle sense of uplifting celebration from the synths that rise up through rusty, rickety techno grooves. Digital Bonus 'Variation 6.1' offers another searing and funky techno stomp, once again providing an extra gem for digital purchasers.

Carnal Fever

Man I am a sucker for the harder techno with the sort of innovative sound design often associated with lower BPM's. The mangled dubby vampire-bat vocal snippets on on "The Hive" really do it for me. I picture these tracks also working well pitched down -8/-10 which might add to their ominous tone. jonarmst
