Pythius :: Downward Spiral EP (Mindtrick)

A collection of downbeat spirals of luminous electronics, Pythius’ sound isn’t really drum’n bass, dubstep or tribal. What he does for this EP is a break down of preconceived formulas, delving into loosely strewn tentacles of bass brushed against free-form shadows.

Pythius

[Download] A spacious foray through bass’n beats has Pythius (a relative newcomer from the Netherlands) displaying his digital prowess on the Downward Spiral EP. A collection of downbeat spirals of luminous electronics, Pythius’ sound isn’t really drum’n bass, dubstep or tribal. What he does for this EP is a break down of preconceived formulas, delving into loosely strewn tentacles of bass brushed against free-form shadows. Sure there are turbulent wibble-wobble’s of low-end vibrating mirrors across the room and electrified deformations, but in the end it’s all about rhythm and mood. Taking what Photek did for abstract drum’n bass in the 90’s, Pythius enters the next generation of sound manglers delivering subdued sonic abstractions.

Downward Spiral is released on Mindtrick. [Download]
