Móatún 7 — a vast and talented roster
Eleven adventurous pieces from the outer edges of our galaxy, Móatún 7 continues to unravel their sonic mysteries, pulling together a vast and talented roster, with no exceptions on TUNCD2—tracks selected by Siggi Stasi from the labels TUN 10” series.
user404 opens with ambient synth strands and subtle clicks submerged in a thick fog as “K~loud4” creates its own landscape. TUNCD2 splits open on the second offering by Reptilicus; “From dark yellow to bright red” yields some of the finest dark electronica and refined hypnosis; its beat-scape swell and flickering sub-bass falls into technoid terrain with grit and charm, and do we hear buried vocals down in the mix?
TUNCD2 delves into the trenches, delivering a cross-section of form and function, displaying a variety of genres and sub-genres—Solipsism’s “Narco Futurism” provides upbeat Detroit techno soul for the dance floor and his mesmerizing “Xenochronism” exudes minimal house grooves as WRNR’s acidic “Looking At The Light In Her Eyes” maneuvers through glitch-techno acrobatics and doesn’t hold back.
But it doesn’t stop there…
Lower frequency bursts take shape via Echtzei’s dub-infused sonic swirl on the gorgeous “C-Inos.” There’s an abstract, tangled, and experimental side of TUNDCD2 evidenced by AMFJ’s “Lightweights” featuring Gzur—extraterrestrial static noises and blistered drones capture the listener in one fell swoop. A vast expanse on Noise Appreciation Crew’s “Natural Wonder” is perhaps the highlight; aptly-titled, it’s a soundscape that is engulfing and an emotional journey in and of itself.
Organic flurries emanate from the ether; user404 crafts “Time 2” as a downtempo clicks’n cuts beauty following-up from their opener “K~loud4.” Precision rhythms are flexed here as well. Thanks to Dokun’s “Ymir,” microscopic melodies drift in the upper exosphere as Frank Murder closes with darker trailing winds and far-away drones on “Untitled for Jói (Part II),” a finale that treads on layered textures and tones.
TUNCD2 is available on Móatún 7. [Bandcamp]
