2: Constant Movement (Oscar Mulero Remix)

3: Game of Existence

‘Constant Movement’ plays out like some tribal incantation from a parallel world. It’s a throbbing, insistent piece of banging, bottom-heavy minimalism whose strength is underlined by its understatement. Oscar Mulero’s remix is also similarly delicate, with the rhythm cutting even deeper, and what feels like a frictional take on the percussion. It’s also got a hint of static, which is great for added dirt. A cacophonously enveloped kick is the main motif of ‘Game of Existence’, a track which gives the impression of having been stripped to within an inch of its life, but contains as enormous a diversity as the deep sea.
