Duplex - Late Night Driving

Out last month was the debut album from Duplex, a Dutch duo whose music seems to fall into the laid back, slightly chilled techno genre. If you're wondering what the hell that means, then listen to the album, which could not be more appropriately named 'Late Night Driving'. Its just perfect for a late night drive or a relax in the early hours of the morning after a great time.

Check out the first track 'Autosug' which was also released as a 12" for a good guide for the general feel of the album. Warm pads and nice drum sounds which make you remember the quality techno releases of the mid 90s mix with a very fresh sound that will hook you into the whole album. 'Elevated Mood' emphasises the smooth flow of one track to another on this release.

'Late Night Driving' certainly helps to kill off the myth that Dutch electronic music can't be taken seriously. This is a definite purchase LP that has to be listened to all the way through to appreciate, it brings a level of nostalgia and warm feeling which makes it a soulful and impressive release!
