INFO
Since making their debut on the imprint in 2013 with 'Blue Aconite', the Italian duo Hiver has released two more EPs on Curle; 'Same Mista ke Twice' in 2015 and 'Soundescence' last year. Since the release of the latter mentioned EP, Hiver have been busy behind the booth, performing in the UK, China , Germany, Holland and, of course, in Italy, where they still hold a residency a t DUDE Club.

Kicking off the EP is 'Elipse', a stunning four-minute t rack that nods to avant-garde artists such as Wolfgang Voigt's GAS alias or Bria n Eno, as the pair gradually weaves several layers of shining, atmospheric tones before slowly fading into the background.
Title-named track 'Air Castles' follows, with the tight selection of drums combined with the ebb and flow of soa ring synths creating a melodic style of techno that has become synonymous with t heir name.
Next is 'Aleutine', a song that similarly blends Hiver's charact eristically ethereal, hazy synths alongside more vibrant analogue bleeps to grea t effect. These delicate synths are later given the chance to gleam as the track comes to a close.
Closing this excellent four-track EP is deep-groover 'Le isure', seeing Hiver up the tempo through their clever use of percussive element s, sharp synths and headstrong drums.
