Kalahari Oyster Cult's Minerals series continues to excavate the dustier corners of late-90s and early-2000s tech house, this time pulling two particularly wiry oddities from the Greyhound catalogue back into circulation. EBE's 'Held Over', originally released in 1999, still sounds wonderfully peculiar with all jangling percussion and nervous little synth figures ricocheting around the mix like loose wiring in a machine room. On the flip, Nectar's 2003 cut 'The Other' veers into the strange with scattering glitchy synth textures and cold-edged electronics across a thick, rolling framework, giving the track its richly experimental unease. There's still enough off-kilter electronic dislocation humming at the edges, though, to make its inclusion on Kalahari Oyster Cult feel entirely natural.
