Patterns of Perception returns with a snapshot of the Finnish scene: a collection of fast psychedelic techno from Helsinki artist HOMI with a slow-burning remix from VC-118A.

Inspired by fast '90s techno in the vein of Detroit legend Rod Modell, the record is at turns delicate yet powerful, high energy yet melancholic. It also marks a turning point for the artist, coinciding with a shift away from a pure jamming approach and an expansion of his music-making techniques in the studio, adding greater depth and complexity to his output.

Our premiere for today, SmallBisnes, comes as a bonus track of the digital edition, and it fits perfectly for closing this excellent release. SmallBisnes is a quirky breakbeat techno voyage with synths that ebb and flow over the rumbling groove, slowly easing the tension and creating tranquility toward the journey's end.

The release was mastered in Berlin by Patterns of Perception's Andreas Maan, with artwork by fellow collective member Ray Pham. PTN02 will be available in record stores and digitally via Bandcamp and other platforms on November 4.
