Fans of early Jega, Solvent, Quinoline Yellow, Bitstream and Evac should take notice as Optical is in prime modular-electro strike mode.
Classic electro-IDM from start to finish is revealed by veteran Eddie Symons—also known as Bovaflux, [d]-tached label head and co-founder of the influential / intentional limited lifespan Struktur imprint from the early 00’s. This time Nullptr debuts for none other than the ever expanding Detroit Underground collective. Focused on sharp, punchy, Skam-infested acidic undertones, synthesizer breaks, melodic shuffling, and rolling rhythm techniques, here we see Eddie’s Nullptr alias in full analog-to-digital form on this 9-track extended player. Sparks fly left to right, brushed up against clean and robust bass jabs as each piece flutters—exuding their own creative energy along the way. Fans of early Jega, Solvent, Quinoline Yellow, Bitstream and Evac should take notice as Optical is in prime modular-electro strike mode.
Optical is available on Detroit Underground.
