Digital label Cut (which works on a monthly subscription basis) kicks off its 2015 run with the four-track Trippin’ EP from German newcomer Caldera. Closing out the varied affair—which touches on shades of Objekt-style techno, chugging dub, and bits of broken beat across its run—is “Morning Traveller,” an elongated outing into hypnotic techno territory. Focusing on the details of its sparse elements, the track makes efficient use of up-swung organ chords and sharp percussion, both of which help gently guide the track forward throughout its patient, eight-plus-minute run.
