Etaci is the banging debut EP of Irish techno DJ and producer Sunil Sharpe on Bpitch Control. The first release on Ellen Allien's BPitch label in 2020 comes from Sunil Sharpe, an outstanding Irish DJ and producer known since the early '00s for his raw, individualistic techno. After records on Works The Long Night, Murder, and his own label On The Hoof, Etaci is the Irishman's first solo release in three years. The title track sets the tone with it's powerful beats and memorable gnawing sequences: funky, extremely physical and with it's "Just A Dream" vocal, which lays like a veil over a squeaky Acid screw, psychedelic to the right degree. "Timber" picks up on this theme and marches with whispering acid lines, voices from the haunted house and funky Chicago house reminisces in the direction of a break, in which a bewitched melody, bird chirping, and choirs push the whole thing in the direction of ritual dance cult music. Sunil Sharpe then modulates sinister sequences on "Amun", where synth stabs occasionally shoot light into the darkness - for the special moments on the dancefloor, which are ecstatic and self-contained at the same time. "Ukkin" finally sends Morse codes from the '90s Chicago basements, extremely funky and compelling contemporary.
