Octogen is Marco Bernadi’s new solo project and his latest single 'Soulsearcher’ follows on from the 'C-Side’ & 'Ligrgirl EP’ releases on the Scottish electronic label Soma.

Marco Bernardi is touted on Soma’s website as 'one of the most forward thinking
electronic producers around at the moment', that’s some billing. Take a listen to the tracks on his latest disc though, and you can hear why they can make such a confident statement. Layers of modern crisp sounds moulded together into an electro form, then finished with a shiny techno glaze. The Detroit influences are there but there is a lot more in the production to keep even a house head like me interested. There’s diversity too, the Marco Passarani remix lends itself more to the summer terraces while 'Anomalies’ reminds me of a dark moody film soundtrack

As with the majority of Soma releases they are built for the dancefloor and this release is definitely one for the electro/techno fans
