Wonder SALES NOTES Jon Hester returns to Radio Slave™s Rekids label with the second instalment of his ˜Converge™ LP, ˜Converge - Part II™. The second part of 2020™s ˜Converge - Part I™, a body of music which saw enthusiastic responses from the likes of Surgeon, Lauren Flax, DJ Bone, Anthony Parasole and Jus-Ed to name just a few, sees the Berlin-based DJ/Producer and dancer generously expand on and refine his slick vision of techno on one of electronic music™s key labels. By encompassing warm and soulful textures within club focussed grooves, Hester continues to explore the far reaches of both the musical cues picked up from his years as a dancer and formative time spent in the Midwest US, connecting influences from Chicago, Minneapolis, and Detroit. Stretched across a double LP, the album opens with the spacious and icy ˜Stealth™ followed by the machine communications of ˜Artificial Intelligence™. The B-side sees a whirlwind of the synthetic in ˜Instant™ before ˜Contact™ swiftly picks up the pace with it™s warbling pads and slippery percussion. On the second disc, ˜Circadian Slip™, custom-built for dancefloor pandemonium, continues with off-kilter leads and vocal snippets before ˜Shadows™ brings eerie syncopation to the proceedings. In the final stretch, ˜Silver™ maintains steady energy into the twilight hours, and the gorgeous ˜Wonder™ closes out the LP beautifully, providing a soft landing to an exceptional journey through Hester™s sound.
