A varietal electronic onslaught
A regular contributor to brokntoys‘ home for blistered breaks and dark electro extracts, Sergiu Juravle (aka Weith) busts open with a half dozen tracks on Sanity Rituals—an already sold out vinyl edition limited to 50, each piece cuts through pulse-winding tones and drones via scattered beat patches (“Dream Deprivation”) to scorched acid breaks’n bass (“Elan Noir”) reminiscent of recent The JDs collaboration (Jack Dangers and Jon Drukman).
Weith manages leftfield soundscapes with utter precision. Tracks like “Cyclic Melancholia” offer edgy synth noodling and acid wobbling, taking the listener to the 90s when artists like Final Cut delved into “the punk grime and electro terror of Europe,” leaving us very little breathing room. But Weith doesn’t stop there—”Believe Something” delves knee-deep into cinematic ambient synthesizer realms, “Mort” offers more upfront technoid groove and lightly developed acid, as “Forever Today” ascends through early an industrial-synth voyage running in parallel with early Depeche Mode—plastered instrumental warfare with a catchy rhythm.
