Jurek is the artist that got my attention after releasing a track "My bass friend" on Chronika chaper III (Alex surely has a fine taste in music). I liked that track alot and its my favorite on that compilation before the names like Midimiliz, X-Dream, Metalogic etc. What I could tell from that track is that he likes deep drives with massive background and that is what I expected to hear in future and that is what we surely got, deep and underground music with mixtures of techno and minimal motives.

A1: Odd Ludek

We can review this track from two different angles. First, as a regular music consumer and second - as a DJ. Why? Because most of music consumers will say that this track is a little bit boring and monotone. And why? Because it has no break and that is what crowd likes. And as a DJ, I cant agree with that. This track is simply great! As I expected, deep drive with no breaks, not even one! But it leaves you space to do what you want, to mix it with another 2 tracks or to cut the low tones and make break with planty effects like reverb or delays, etc. I can hear some Extrawelt influence on this track, especially on rhythmics and bass line. Pad and background are great, make the atmosphere look more deep. All sounds (and there are many different sounds in track) are on high level of production, there is a story in this track and I can read it! Track is really stretched, as i like to say :) Great job!

A2: Simmonz dream (Original mix)

And it continues in deep and very dj friendly style. Very nice, unusual and massive bassline. I feel that rhythm could be more complexive but thats just my subjective oppinion. Track has a little bit darker atmosphere than Ludek and I especially liked that small fx in background. Hats are like some kind of scissors, cutting trough the bass. And I must repeat myself and say, high quality production on every single sound. Maybe this track could have some large break. Nice one Jurek.

B1: Simmonz dream (Kino Oko gas mask mix)

Yeah, I can see that Kino liked the bass in this track also, cause he just slightly changed it, but it kept original sound. I knew what to expect from Kino and I must say that this is very cool remix. Nice effects on that fx like vocal, liked it. Maybe this metalic melody came to fast into break, but its very cool and twisted, very interesting. Remix is also deep as I expected and you can hear many styles in it. Quality of production is once again on high level. Cool remix Kino.

B2: Terror Romans

Machinery! This man has some cool ideas and he surely showed them in this track. Very interesting track for listening. This vocal fx makes very strong impression. Break is great, with some noise and bass that drives is very cool, keeps you moving
your feet. Very nice ideas, maybe the production is little less quality then songs before and maybe thats what Jurek wanted on purpose, to let us feel that noise! Liked it a lot.

I belive that people will like this one. Jurek defined his style for next releases and sure its gonna be deep, underground and techy! All the best in future!

Nice review Kimo, as usual.

The ep is quite emotinal for techno maniac like me. Odd Ludek is most comfortable for my ear.

I suppose that You trying to say that crowds DON'T like?
Anyway I find my oppinion in text that You write.
For me those two Polish guys have something totally unique in their music and that thig are admit many of listeners, which like and which don't like that kind of music.
Me, personal adore!!!
