Track Of The Day: Dawl - Asylum (Tone Dropout)

 


I love everything about the Tone Dropout label. The analogue purity and depth of the productions, (now I’m going to find out that they’ve all been made on Ableton). The logic and the graphics. Most of all though it’s how the music makes me feel. They hearken back to a rave I was at, or was I? Break beats and acid rule the roost and the tracks slip into more groove-laden tunes to rock the boat a little and remind you that, even though the music is top notch and takes you back, a little bit of chaos in the mix is always a good idea. ‘Asylum’ is typical of the label. Everything I’ve already described as well as a reliable functionality which is much more than the sum if its parts. Lovely stuff.
