Hatch :: Writer’s Bench (Section 27)

Broken beat electro, raggatronic rhythms, and toughened melodic breaks all make room for a hard-edged release from Eugene Rowlett (aka Hatch.)

Section 27 continues to expand its reach, the Scottish imprint veers through classic-era Skam, Warp, Schematic, Chocolate Industries et al, and reasserts itself in the field of next-level exp-electronics.

Broken beat electro, raggatronic rhythms, and toughened melodic breaks all make room for a hard-edged release from Sydney, Australia-based Eugene Rowlett (aka Hatch.) Basslines are trampled upon raw synthesizer manipulation gone awry. The talented artist fine tunes creative, high-energy fields infused into eight contagious tracks meant for 3 a.m. abandoned warehouses. Rugged and to the point—Miami Bass, Detroit Electro, and UK Dub smash into each other in a sonic melting-pot from start to end. Diving head-first into Writer’s Bench clearly reveals that each piece has been carefully produced to capture broad danceable sculptures.

From disjointed techno slabs to definitive electro jaunts, Hatch delivers a cohesive musical maelstrom and a thoroughly enjoyable collection.

Writer’s Bench is available on Section 27.
