Tokee & Tapage :: The Collider Circle EP (Hymen)

A collaboration between two talented sound sculptors (Tokee and Tapage) took place for well over a year, and The Collider Circle is the result with five surreal pieces drifting somewhere between atmospheric notes, subtle click’n cuts and their definitive post-industrial landscape of grit, crunch, and darker sonic strands.

A well-balanced foray into the unknown

Neo-classical layers flicker as far away worlds are explored on “Dulchiton Ghost Start” which sets the stage via mysteriously crumpled and dreamlike dust particles floating by. “The Mylingar” cuts through hard-edged electronics counterbalanced with drone-scrapes—the sharpened and precision beats are utterly in focus as foggy chimes ring in the background. “Zero Point” takes us through outer realms with surreal / dystopian dark-ambient slivers and eventually breaks apart into scattered electrical mayhem—an abundance of modular blips and bleeps abound. Elsewhere you’ll find an underwater abyss of mechanical shifting noises on “Strigoi” as the EP is bookended by “Dulchiton Ghost End”—an unearthly blanket of calm waves that harks back to The Future Sound Of London’s fluid soundtrack dynamics.

The Collider Circle is a welcomed retreat, a slice of electronic soundscapes the defy categorization and rest somewhere between the exosphere and outer space—in other words, it’s a well-balanced foray into the unknown.
