- "Yojik-ConCon is a new Romanian label inducing a contemporary concept of music making which works against current stylistic conventions. Crossing limits and voiding thresholds between strict musical principles, the label's owner Petre Inspirescu intends to contemplate innovative experimentation upon sound's mood and motion." That's funny, I just hear house music when I put it on the Technics. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Inspirescu's style sounds resolutely fresh amid the bludgeoning tide of vocal sample house, a brooding antidote to wailing divas that are rarely allowed to finish a sentence before starting the same one over and over again.
"Iatac" is the one for me here, with its orchestra warming up and cooling down underneath the broiling four-four. Inspirescu has always been fond of these sorts of acoustic elements filtering into his tool-ish compositions, but here they're allowed to breathe, a full-bodied counterpoint to the unrelenting pressure. "Iatac" won't be the star of your night, but it'll likely be the track that takes you to it. Or away from it. A-side "Mirror Light" is breezier, a gurgling brook of noise flows underneath the rolling bassline while three languid notes ring out. There's nothing to it, even if a lot apparently went in. That's why Inspirescu is such a talent. He makes "crossing limits and voiding thresholds" sound like effortless house music with no extra theorizing needed.
