Xpansul & Massi Dl Soma
Release Date: 11 May 2008
Minimal man of the moment Massi DL delivers his first full EP on Soma Records in collaboration with Xpansul. At only 20 years old Massi has already received huge props from Richie Hawtin and released on Mat Tolfrey's Leftroom Records not to mention Trapez, Frankie Records and Safari Electronique. He recently appeared on Let's Go Outside's darkly erotic 'I'll Lick Your Spine' with a warped remix that's as quirkily disconcerting as it is sexually mischevious.

Xpansul is Spanish kid Santiago Ferrer, also known as Santi Xpansul. With his own labels Disco De Lata and Options, and having already released on Josh Wink's Ovum Records as well as forthcoming releases on Immigrant, Apnea and Trapez, Santi also is making quite a buzz with DJ support pouring in from Joel Mull, Magda, Miss Kittin and DJ Hell. Nerd Life EP is their first collaborative work, however the pair have worked together before with Xpansul remixing Massi's 'Minimal Mushrooms'.

The Nerd Life EP sits perfectly balanced on the border of Italo techno and minimal. Nerd Soul is full of eccentricity and lulls you into a false sense of security before its razor sharp snares and rolling kicks attack you with maximum impact. Title track Nerd Life is huge. With its infectious groove and jacking beats this track is a virus set to plague the dancefloors. Nerd Beats finishes off with a wonky techno excursion full of tripped-out tangents.
