- Mosca has been a force in the UK scene for seven years, reliably churning out quality tracks while never staying on a label too long. If hooking up with Livity Sound means a bassier sound, what's not to like? Both tracks on Don't Take This The Wrong Way feature slow, techno-like build-ups and arrangements with space to play out over about eight minutes. The A-side, "Don't Take This The Wrong Way," is the kind of 130 BPM-plus dubstep creeper that would have made classic-era Martyn proud, with an added Berlin-school hypnotism.
The B-side, "Peyote Stitch," may sound unassuming at first, but it soon transitions into a crossbred techno banger with delirious synth strobes over housey handclaps, EBM sound effects—strangulated vocal snips, industrial clangs—and the kind of bass groove you might expect from Detroit. Mosca is astute in his choice of sounds, especially in the use of dynamic range. Each side has an affection for earworm zaps in the high-end and low-end—their interplay is joyous.
