Release Date: 08 May 2008
Release notes:
Quince strikes again, after his brilliant and well received album 'En.vi.sion' from last year, he here continues where he left us after his last single 'The Summit'.
This EP goes all new school techno, aide a brings 'Expanding', which is a 11 minutes epic synth based builder, coming in two parts. Lush hypnotic synth galore, and be warned! don't underestimate the bassline in 2nd part. 'Contracting' goes more uptempo and funky with strong club appeal. Strong stuff.

"Both tracks of this supertalented chief will get full support, but for me it's most definitely 'Expanding' on the winning side.. very interesting and accesable (but with the Quince lush of deepness sauce) deep-tech/deep-house vibe, reminds me a bit of Ame and it's great to see Quince grow and grow from an already super high-level....go Quince! :-)" - Benny Rodrigues
