3 Track EP Of Rolling Techno Grooves - Chicago's Jon Hester spent years as a dancer before he even touched the decks and that shows in his floor facing cuts for Transmat, which follows other high grade outings on taste-making techno labels Dystopian, Deeply Rooted and Rekids. Infectious rhythm is at the core of Hester's work and all the tracks here: "Dimension Seven" is epic techno that surges to the cosmos on warm solar synths and chattery percussion from the Windy City. "Return" is deeper and infused with a warm sense of machine soul then "Onward" has some fantastic drum programming and pinging kick drums that sweep you up and along for a most thrilling ride.
Hester's music is for dancers, for lovers of rhythm and those who like to lose themselves in the beauty of a synth that speaks to the soul. His latest musical story kicks off with 'Dimension Seven', a forceful journey to the cosmos, with a lead synth that twists and turns to bring untold cosmic drama. 'Return' keeps up the pace as you come up through the clouds, with serene pads coming direct from the heavens to your heart, and accented drums reminding you of the sleek, futuristic roots of techno. Lastly, 'Onward' showcases Hester's peerless drum programming as his cantering kicks carry you away beneath astral night skies. Timeless and evocative, this is music that encourages you to dream while giving yourself over to the groove.
