Colin Dyer :: return null; EP (Schematic Music Co.)

Broken, sliced, diced and laser-blasted electronics aside—here we find Colin Dyer gravitate towards the outer edges of breakcore experimentation.

Skittering beats, bass, ricocheting melodies and modular drones burst from all angles

Four new tracks, two remixes, and hundreds of exploratory sounds, return null; is dysfunctionally succinct in its mission to alter IDM/braindance spaces. Skittering beats, bass, ricocheting melodies and modular drones burst from all angles and yet there’s a fluid mechanical pulse keeping everything bound together. Broken, sliced, diced and laser-blasted electronics aside—here we find Colin Dyer gravitate towards the outer edges of breakcore experimentation. Rhythms flash and explode in visceral blips and bleeps quarters as Toys in the Static and Red Pyramid somehow tame their renditions veering into darker synthesized/video game industrial tropes—a mere shadow of the originals’ vivid audio sculptures. return null; carefully steers through analog machinery, peeling back its metallic edges only to expose a corrosive inner framework.

return null; is available on Schematic Music Company. [Bandcamp]
