LITTLE SNAKE – YATDC

Posted on 2020-02-10

“YATDC does not fit into the category of an EP, an LP, or anything in between. YATDC is a message, delivered to you by omnipresent entities that have appeared in your skies for some time, via Little Snake as a vessel. It is something you have known for a long time, and you will soon return to it. Although you could not be told this directly, and even when you have deciphered it in full, words cannot fathom it. Through the centre point of every force and motion within this message, you will find the truth…”

Little Snake (real name Gino Serpentini) resides in Calgary, Alberta. His music deconstructs dancefloor norms and subverts traditional structures, balancing intricacy with explosive bass weight. His tracks have become a staple in Flying Lotus’s DJ sets who signed him to his label Brainfeeder in 2018, describing his productions as “fkn insane”. “YATDC” follows “ENTER” EP inspired by the Gaspar Noé film Enter The Void and 2019’s “LOST IN SPIRALS” EP informed by math rock, textural noise, acid techno and jungle.

XOROS – FUTURES

Posted on 2020-02-10

Xoros is an exploration of space, repetition and temporal oblivion. Created by Will Ward and Jack Wyllie, the music is based on densely layered sonic textures and circular instrumental loops.

‘Xoros’ has its genesis in techno and dance music, but while they remain important elements in the language of this record, the lexicon has evolved into something other. Will Ward’s musical background – having released on prestigious European labels such as Leisure System and Newrhythmic – combined with the accomplished jazz, ambient and electronic musicianship of Jack Wyllie – a member of Portico Quartet and Szun Waves – results in a record that will not sit uncomfortably alongside other ambient explorations, but draws from a wide scope of sonic universes.

For Ward and Wyllie, when working together a focus on texture and space emerged as their common goal and provided a fertile ground for collaborative experimentation.

PERKO – PIPPIN

Posted on 2020-02-10

Copenhagen-based composer Perko follows up 2018’s astonishing NV Auto with another jaw-dropping set on Numbers. The City Rings picks up where its predecessor left off, marching out meticulously-crafted works of experimental drum and bass and barebones left-field techno by the slightest of means. ‘Stutter’ betrays its uneasy title with a sure-footed pace, while Lia collaboration ‘Grounds’ turns a field recordings exchange into a synth-fuelled belter.
