Nazareno [bassi] delivers three inventive tracks on a limited 8″ lathe cut for No/Tempo. From glitchy bursts in “Discussion” to the warped vocals of “No Now” and the funky breakbeats of “I Love Tempo,” the release blends rhythmic chaos with electronic innovation, adding fresh energy to Adepta Editions’ Atanor Collection.
Glitch-fueled rhythms and warped grooves
Three tracks pressed onto a limited edition 8″ lathe cut, Nazareno [bassi] shapes sonic sculptures with precision and imagination on No/Tempo. The opener, “Discussion,” plays out like a conversation between malfunctioning circuits—twitching, sputtering, and snapping with distorted breaks and volatile percussion. Clocking in at just over ninety seconds, it brims with enough energy and invention to stretch far beyond its runtime. A jolting ride through skewed rhythms and erratic melody, it sets the stage for “No Now,” a vocal-led odyssey warped by analog wobble and unstable signals. Theremin whines thread through a disarray of braindance echoes and granular interference, drifting across desolate yet strangely inviting terrain.
Flip the record, and Nazareno [bassi] plunges deep into kinetic territory—breakbeats collide with gnarled basslines, punchy bleeps, and a groove that nods to funk’s wilder side on “I Love Tempo.” Elements of vintage IDM spiral outward in syncopated swells, glitchy momentum keeping things gloriously off-kilter. Arguably the standout of this trio, it channels a lineage of experimental beatmakers—think Velum Break, Hydroplane, or Global Goon—yet remains unmistakably his own. Altogether, this release is a playful collision of rhythmic chaos and leftfield brilliance, keeping Adepta Editions’ Atanor Collection buzzing with retro-futurist flair and headstrong electronic craft.
No/tempo is available on Adepta Atanor Collection. [Bandcamp]
