Synkretic unleashes a microcosm of IDM bubbles harking back to that shiny period when artists like Quinoline Yellow, Solvent, Brothomstates, Kiyo (et al) gravitated towards punctuated and precision rhythms from out of this world.
Synkretic unleashes a microcosm of IDM bubbles
Four tracks spread across 21 minutes, Synkretic (aka Anthony Martins) was heavily influenced by the works of late 90s and early 2000s IDM from labels like Schematic, Suction, Warp, and Skam—with Selve Releezs capturing a snapshot of those brittle audio nuggets from the past. Rapid fire beatwork and delectable melodies are featured on tracks like “Tzatziki” while raw echoes, clicks’n cuts, and delicate blips are elevated on “Pwca2.” Synkretic unleashes a microcosm of IDM bubbles harking back to that shiny period when artists like Quinoline Yellow, Solvent, Brothomstates, Kiyo (et al) gravitated towards punctuated and precision rhythms from out of this world. Elsewhere you’ll find tracks like “Seortonin” gently glide through Aphex Twin’esque ambient tropes and eventual percussive sandblasting as “Backgyard” engages abstract sound design constructs that are crunchy and brimming with life. A welcomed IDM spotlight of yesteryear while simultaneously crafting sharply defined musical passages worth diving head first into.
Selve Releezs is available on Bandcamp.
