Rontronik :: Zero Six EP (Self Released)

Zero Six maneuvers through dilapidated ambient-electronics that stands the test of time—its otherworldly echoes and clicks’n cuts aesthetic is on point start to end.

Otherworldly echoes and clicks’n cuts aesthetic

Ronald Croudy (aka Technique Concrete and co-founder of micro-label Töshöklabs) has been at it for quite a while, his Rontronik moniker continues to weave in and out of electronic data streams, and just this past October we almost missed out on Zero Six—a slick four track extended player that rattles and hums with obscured sonic landscapes made of crumbling ambient and IDM shapes. “0602” opens with hypnotic fizz-fuzz debris, crackles, and found sounds that is straight out of a dreamscape as “0609” takes a more drone-like trajectory of wide open spaces and is filled with low-pressure atmospherics. “0610” is perhaps the highlight of the lot, its crunchy post-industrial static blasts and looping beats are from another planet as the minute and a half closing “0611” is a wash of tranquilized ambient flutter that could run on forever (if only there was an alternate “long version”—hint, hint.) Overall, Zero Six maneuvers through dilapidated ambient-electronics that stands the test of time—its otherworldly echoes and clicks’n cuts aesthetic is on point start to end.

Zero Six is available on Bandcamp.
