Experimental Electronic Music
Keef has the music production comprehension on how to make his tunes reflect old-school references we love without trying to emulate the 90’s sound as if the album was made back then. His music sounds fresh and up-to-date in such a way that could even remodel some of our recollections.
Remixes EP is an absorbing adventure through next-level electronic experimentation, taking careful note of the past and forging ahead with powerful new-school techniques.
Dcast Dynamics Eleuthera EP (ISO-109EP) is four tracks from Shad T. Scott, Miami’s quintessential electro maestro. Scott, long-known for works under his Isophlux and Gosub monikers among others, has long been at work in the electronic scene probing depths and bringing the results to your ears and mind.
In this latest assemblage, the album builds upon itself with each piece blissfully disjointed and drawing us into the void. Expanding from every angle, subtle electronic entanglements flourish with dark and light shadows.
Through the combination of coalescing emotions and natural musical extrusions, Dissolved leaves us with misleading echoes that are both reassuring and distracting, frequently simultaneously.
These eight tracks, ranging from the mid-90s IDM boom to today’s high-level production qualities, use lost time capsules and sophisticated synth-techno fissures to create detailed sonic shadows and throbbing breaks, bass, and broken beats.
Both records express what has been built up to in previous outings from these artists, and they may as well be the culmination for both for now; unless there’s even more coming out this year, at which point I’d have to see which way the wind will be blowing in future releases.
The result is captivating, thoughtful, emotive, strange, and navigating through cerebral sound waves, smooth atmospherics, moody-esque sculpted improvisations to radical rhythmically-orientated and almost glitch-like experimentations.
You have to love yourself a fire surrounds itself by a plethora of abrupt breaks and distorted electro-nics; going on several tangents with low-flowing synth sections complemented by precision audio plateaus.
The sensation is not of a linear event but a cyclical one, constantly ebbing, flowing, evolving and repeating. In these pieces Davis seeks to enfold, embrace and uplift the listener with these enveloping works.
Psychic functions, postmodern poetical romanticism and paranormal phenomena are summoned to generate an absorbing, menacing, dreary, ecstatic and eerie cinematic experience.
