DasF :: Bordata EP (Rednetic) — [concise]

A darker pulse simmers beneath Bordata, where DasF effortlessly melds bleak industrial electronics with fractured, acid-tinged textures. Across four tracks, the release carves tunnels of percussive abstraction, microtonal shards, and dystopian resonance, hinting at the full-throttle energy of a yet-to-come full-length.

Bordata channels dark mechanical atmospheres

Something darker stirs here—unusual but fitting for Rednetic—yet DasF settles easily into bleak industrial electronics on Bordata, having surfaced earlier on Section 27’s Trenchcoat in 2023. A tetrad formed by Dronefynder General and both Andrews from Room of Wires pushes forward a title piece that tunnels through crunchy percussive abstractions and raw mechanics, while microtonal fragments in “Brother humans” arrive shattered, distorted, and sharpened into acid-industrial illbient shards with German vocal cuts slicing through metallic haze.

“Cold” follows with melodic strands fusing around scattered drums; synth swell and icy harmonics recall decades past, nostalgia crystallizing into emotive plateaus. Closing signal “Mouth Hammer” moves like molten iron, carving routes through dark machinery and carrying sleek distortion across industrial wastelands, leaving only dystopian resonance in its wake.

In sum, Bordata hones sonic shadows—chilled, brooding, yet forceful across only four pieces. A full-length outing feels overdue, as DasF clearly commands enough energy to ignite another wave of classic broken-beat industrial soundscapes.

Bordata is available on Rednetic. [Bandcamp]
