A. Pulse XVII B. Pulse XVIII C. Pulse XIX D. Pulse XX

Drawing a line under his Pulse series, Pev brings a fi{h and final dose of posi^vity to 
the dance with a dis^nctly techno-oriented focus and space for the odd curveball. 
Strident opener 'Pulse XVII" bookends a lean, subtly stepped mid-sec^on workout 
with pearlescent synth strings and chord stabs patched in for maximum Motor City 
upli{. 'Pulse XVIII' operates within a taut house framework, s^rring up a forthright 
jack track with the sparsest of ingredients drawn from the paleVe of bassweight 4/4 
that has run throughout the Pulse series. The tempo no^ceably nudges up on 'Pulse 
XIX' — a nagging dub techno varia^on where the genre's usual blown-out dreaminess 
is replaced with snappy urgency. That leaves it to 'Pulse XX' to close the series out 
with a sharp le{ turn towards light-footed le{field steppers gear with alien hooks — 
an approach that harks back to earlier Pev output, but given a fresh lick with the 
bright-eyed produc^on that has informed his latest phase of studio explora^on. 
Livity Sound is a label set up by Peverelist in 2011 as a vehicle for a raw and 
exploratory strain of UK techno, rooted in the heritage of UK dance music and sound 
system culture. It has since become one of the UK's foremost protagonists for cu~ng 
edge underground electronic music.
