From start to close, Gorrio weaves a tightly knit narrative—electronic language spoken fluently, rhythmically, and with striking clarity.
An ever-morphing dive into exploratory electro
Renzo Gorrio’s Hydroplane hovers just above kinetic, aqueous acid-scapes—an ever-morphing dive into exploratory electro and fractured percussive patterns. It launches with “Browz” (final mix by Ben Milstein), a relentless surge through rave-touched breakbeats, while “Mopez” conjures echoes of early Aphex Twin’s “Digeridoo,” slowed and shadowed by glitch-laden pulses and brooding undercurrents.
Within these flickering breaks and shifting frequencies, Hydroplane reaches beyond sound—into vision. “Suruk,” arriving at the midpoint, seems to bend the arc of the EP, as if folding in on itself. Radiance filters through robotic haze, and “Zlip” (also with Milstein’s touch) navigates a fine line between mechanical funk and IDM precision—cold curves wrapped in synthetic grace.
The final movement leans into restraint. Ambient whispers, delicate blips, and candied rhythm lines drift in quiet interplay—weightless yet intent. “Fabric Room” emerges last, unveiling stark, brittle sonics rendered with crystalline focus. Each moment, honed in scale and purpose, invites repeat immersion.
