His recordings as Convextion and E.R.P. have established Gerard Hanson as a singular voice in electronic music. Based in Dallas, Texas, his relative remoteness from the epicentres of club culture has allowed Hanson to maintain a unique perspective on deep and drifting techno and electro that mesmerises over your iPod earplugs as much as it is able to enchant Panorama Bar's early morning dance floor.
E.R.P. serves as Hanson's electro guise and after recent collaborations with Hardfloor the project now receives its latest outing on Frustrated Funk's sister imprint, Harbour City Sorrow.
Opener 'Lunar Ruins' takes the EP's most classical route, its interplay of funky bass stabs, 808 beats and transparent strings recalling the classic works of Elektroids and Dopplereffekt. 'Into the Distance' leans toward the deep end of techno reminiscent of Arne Weinberg or John Beltran, and the sliding synths of 'Mimosa Canopy' amount to pure hi-tech jazz. Excellent.
