Talented Kilkenny-born and now Glasgow-based Peter Lawlor, aka Polytunnel, rocks up on Seventh Sign Recordings and turns in a masterly release.

Polytunnel is a meeting point of sounds and interests, not bound by genre or scene. Having cut his teeth as resident DJ at Dublin venue The Bernard Shaw, he eventually made the move to Glasgow in 2019, bringing him closer to the label he fittingly finds himself representing here. That same year he caught the attention of London-based party starters, Childsplay, where he released his debut 12, Time 2 Time.

His style of melodic electro mixed with breakbeat influenced acid has seen his music gain acclaim from the likes of Mixmag, DJ Mag, Inverted Audio, Xlr8r and the support of many notable DJs, including the late great Andrew Weatherall on his highly rated and much missed NTS show, Musics Not for Everyone.

A run through Peter Lawlors music to date, in particular on this record, invokes a strange uncertainty over whether this can truly be - aside from a track included on a release by the excellent We're Going Deep label - only his second proper EP release. His sound is as though honed across many records, culminating in this rich, clever, tasteful electronic music that finds its spiritual home on Glasgows premier underground label.
