Berlin's Certain Circles present Pool — nine tracks across four sides that map the label's corner of the underground with precision and taste. A choice selection of deep house and dub techno drawn from a tight-knit community of producers.

The range across the four sides is the record's quiet strength. Deep house grooves sit alongside dub techno atmospheres and more driving techno structures, each track distinct in character yet entirely coherent within the whole. Diego Krause, Ed Herbst, Porter, Albert Vogt and Peer Du carry the first two sides with warmth and hypnotic momentum, while the C and D sides push further into more abstract and experimental territory — Tecture, Nick Beringer & Philipp Boston, stevn.aint.leavn and Walker. each bringing their own angle to a compilation that never loses its thread. Four sides of underground electronics handled with care, from a label that clearly knows what it is doing.
