Troy Pierce - Gone Astray & LIVE @ Kontrol, SF

Troy Pierce's latest release, the Gone Astray EP on m-nus continues his string of dark and brooding minimal techno releases that have made him one of the most reliable producers in music today. He is a rare commodity in that he matches his stellar productions with a live offering that equals his precision in the studio. The track 'Even It's Alone (Black Acid)' harkens back to old Plastikman days in melody with a slight reverberated or delayed kick drum to make it sound fresh today. There's not a weak track on this 10 track EP which shows that he is one of the few techno artists that creates tracks for his live sets and makes it work. So, is he a dj, or a producer, or something equally both to make the whole great ?
