The high-octane drill’n bass maestro keeps pushing the envelope, incorporating sandblasted acid-electronics and off-center rhythms in this heavyweight five pack manifest.
Acid warbling wide-angle breaks and mechanical constructs
The Canadian breakcore enthusiast from the West Coast returns with an impactful five-track EP for Satellite Era after releases with Evel, Occult Research, Kaometry, and Concrete Collage. Signals From The Uncharted Expanse clearly demonstrates his dedication for abstract electronics, as evidenced by his expansive background. “Respite Compote” shifts into flickering glitch’n bass as it gathers speed and power, while “Birdtits” fidgets with acid warbling wide-angle breaks and mechanical constructs swerving around subtle synth swells. Hitori Tori calms things down on “Knots Will Fring,” letting the acidic rhythms take center stage but being pared down so that echoey beatwork and breaks can really stand out. The closing track “Racepatoc” amplifies the message with vocal treatments and samples, while “Youngster Loves Phone” toys with video game dynamics and heavy synth work. The high-octane drill’n bass maestro keeps pushing the envelope, incorporating sandblasted acid-electronics and off-center rhythms in this heavyweight five pack manifest.
Signals From The Uncharted Expanse is available July 26, 2024 on Satellite Era. [Bandcamp]
