Kontra Musik / Naked Index man of mystery gets Straight to the Point...

Rivet (Naked Index) is the well-kept secret behind one of 2011s strongest techno EPs - Inside Looking Out on Naked Index. Followed by the EP Running Thick and a very strong remix for Kowton on TEAL, this producer enigma now joins the Kontra-Musik stable with two stunning Rivet originals plus an anthem alert Marcel Fengler remix

Rivet puts a lot of effort in his sounds and his production. This is not another copycat. The Rivet sound is after just a few releases a hallmark of dirty funk and originality blended with cinematic beauty.

First out on the EP Amid the Roar is Metrist, a sexy march that blends the stiffness 80-ties disco with techno from the future. A distorted bass line meets clever drums, metallic stabs and a beautiful string keeps the track in the moody Kontra-Musik territory. On the b-side Marcel Fengler takes his turn on Metris. He keeps the string of the original, chops up the bass and creates a dancefloor monster with a big anthem alert stamp on it. Amid the Roar ends with what might be the strongest track on the ep. With Sleepwalker Rivet brings us down with a broken and mud-drenched version of the Rivet sound. Medieval darkness turned into funk and beauty, with string and voices bringing thought back to Peter Benisch and his excellent Sound Track Saga album.
