Torii is a potent sonic transmission that is reminiscent of early Einóma, Traject, and Atiq & EnK where deconstructed tribal grooves are balanced over compacted beatwork and dark bass troves.
A potent sonic transmission
Esthetic & Reac-Zo’s Torii 4-track extended player is correctly characterized by Onset Audio as “deconstructed jungle and hypnotic halftime experimentation” as they celebrate their first vinyl release. It’s a fitting descriptor considering the duo’s deep dive into looping textures and harsh beats in the illbient style where disturbed and extended rhythms smoothly bend and alter. To disclose their inner core of chaos and order jumbled into broken breaks and frenzied drum activity, exploratory industrial layers are peeled back to reveal them. Torii is a potent sonic transmission—reminiscent of early Einóma, Traject, and Atiq & EnK where deconstructed tribal grooves are balanced over compacted beatwork and dark bass troves.
Torii is available on Onset Audio. [Bandcamp]
