AZ–Rotator :: AE–12 (Adepta Editions) — [concise]

In a mere eight minutes, AZ-Rotator spins just enough momentum to leave us hanging, eager to see what strange new realms he’ll explore in 2025. A bold and sleek pairing that holds nothing back.

Boundless curiosity in the realm of abstracted electronics

Uge Ortiz’s AZ-Rotator project has ebbed and flowed through countless sonic transformations over the years, but one thing remains constant: his boundless curiosity in the realm of abstracted electronics. His relentless quest to rebuild sound continues to leave us both puzzled and captivated. On his latest offering for Adepta Editions, AE-12, Ortiz crafts an adventurous landscape of blissful bleep techno, juxtaposed with razor-sharp synth strands in the opener “Tales of Nemicon,” which echoes the polished, robotic elegance of Kraftwerk. Then, “Schedsum” drifts into a hazy ether, unfurling atmospheric synth waves and glitch-funk beats that glide into the unknown. In a mere eight minutes, AZ-Rotator spins just enough momentum to leave us hanging, eager to see what strange new realms he’ll explore in 2025. A bold and sleek pairing that holds nothing back.
