Following the earth-shifting Faetch 1, which was played by practically every techno dj worth their salt, Tibetan entity Faetch returns for the next part in the ongoing saga. Sturdy rolling drums and fiery vocal bursts on 'Jeidge' signal early chaos on the a-side, moving onto the pure techno funk of 'Wershif' - a definite ear wiggler if ever we heard one.
On the b-side 'Faecel' is tense, more heads-down fare, not at all dissimilar to Cari Lekebusch's classic early Drumcode material. Closing the ep is 'Cargoe', where jittery broken rhythms ricochet off rave stabs and echoed vocals & sound fx. Another crucial Faetch four-tracker here, for fans of inventive dancefloor techno.
