(02.07.03) Doug Rimerman is part of the burgeoning IDM scene in North America.. hailing from Los Angeles, California, he manifests his experimental breakbeats under the Constant Flux moniker. All Things Change represents the growth in electronics where rhythmic melodies collide against abrasive and upbeat electro-breaks. Waves of atmospheric ambience blend harmoniously with structured beats and watery basslines. These are just a fraction of the frequencies that one can extract from this impressive debut full-length on :/Run Recordings. Constant Flux has also been featured on a wide variety of Radio stations including KCRW (89.9 FM) & KXLU (88.9 FM) both in Los Angeles where his live performances have generated quite a stir in the experimental electronic music community.

All Things Change spans through a variety of styles from downbeat loungy numbers like “Distorted Ripple” to the rather upbeat, bass-infested fury of “Mercury Cocktail” where a chemically charged melody is complimented by creative electro-breaks. The title track (“All Things Change”) spreads a high-energy bassline next to subliminally stretched robotic voices and gritty electrical frequencies. For a debut release, All Things Change carves a direct slice through glitchy electro and robotic breakbeats. While the music stands on its own, credit for the artwork on this enticing Digi-Pack goes to Ray Noland; the live visual-work for Constant Flux’s shows are provided by Yo Suzuki.

All Things Change is out now on Run.
