This is Kerrie’s second release for James Ruskin’s Blueprint, a label that has been releasing music for the best part of the last 15 years, but certainly picks and chooses what it deems suitable. What seems to unite these four tracks is a pervasive feeling that less is indeed more. Not in the minimalistic sense, rather the simmering impression that these compositions don’t need to flex their muscles too much in order to address the power within. There’s also a rawness to them that in the hands of the wrong producer could feel contrived. ‘Nightwalker’ feels like it takes its inspiration from Suburban Knight; ‘Theta State’ is a skilfully realised vibrating, break beat backed bridge between techno and trance; ‘Find Your Tribe’ an ominous buzzing, call-to-arms throb of terminal viscosity, and ‘Transient Belief’ a powerful, but subdued flickering circuit board symphony of crackling potency.
