Workspace EP by LeSonDormant: A Minimal Techno Journey That Sticks Like Glue
Alright, let’s dive into Workspace EP by LeSonDormant. This little gem from 2013 hails all the way from Russia and was released on Deep-X Recordings—home to some seriously moody electronic goodness. If you’re into minimal techno with a side of head-nodding vibes, this one's for ya.
First off, let me set the scene. Imagine being stuck in an office cubicle at 3 AM (don’t ask why) but instead of crying softly into your coffee mug, you’ve got beats so smooth they make spreadsheets feel like dance floors. Yeah, that’s what this EP feels like. It’s not flashy or over-the-top—it just works.
Now, onto the tracks. There are only three here: “Inside,” “Workspace,” and “Selection.” I’ll zoom in on two because who’s got time for everything?
Track 1: Inside
This is where it starts getting weird—and awesome. The opening synth line creeps up on you like someone sneaking around the office after hours. You know those moments when you think there’s no way this track is going anywhere? Well, surprise! Around the two-minute mark, it drops into a groove so hypnotic you might forget your own name. It’s subtle, sure, but damn if it doesn’t stick with you. Like that coworker who always has gum—you don’t notice them until suddenly they save your day.
Track 2: Workspace
Oh man, this one’s my favorite. It sounds exactly how its title suggests—like productivity wrapped in neon lights. There’s something about the rhythm here that makes you want to clean your desk or alphabetize files—or maybe just stare blankly while pretending to be busy. Either way, it’s perfect background music for doing absolutely nothing important. And honestly? That’s kind of beautiful.
As for “Selection,” well, it rounds things out nicely without stealing the spotlight. Think of it as the intern of the group—not groundbreaking, but still gets the job done.
So yeah, Workspace EP. What can I say? It’s understated brilliance wrapped in Russian minimalism. Listening to it feels like finding a secret stash of cookies in the breakroom—unexpected but oh-so-satisfying.
And now for the random reflection part: You ever wonder if LeSonDormant named these tracks during a caffeine-fueled coding binge? Because I do. All the time. Anyways, crank this up next time you need to zone out—or pretend you're working hard. Your brain will thank you.
