DISTINCT MOTIVE - Hypnotize (EP) Bizarre Trax Few turn-of-the-century techno records haveToronto's Distinct Motive land on Deep Medi with 'Hypnotize', a four track EP that rides wide subs and maximal waveforms with a smooth, unassailed charge. 'Check Up' and 'Conflict Riddim' pull on riddim elements without the exaggerated swings or outlandish growls, while 'Dank' comes closest to the subgenre before the title track closes with a classically paced 140 stepper.
