Cristian Sarde

Last year was a breakthrough year for Cristian Sarde, who dropped some serious techno heat on labels like Oscuro, Outcast Planet and Heko Records. Now he inaugurates the Radici label with some further ear-snagging grooves reaching from the Guru-sampling 'Feel The Funk' to the stripped-back jacker 'Accelleration'. The quality holds up on the B side, as 'Track 3' toughens up the drums without losing that sharp-eyed focus and freaky sampling, and 'What Ya Gonna' takes things deep and subby with a sleek palette of atmospheric twists and turns.
