A new label to me and one that is pleasingly lo-fi, in look at least. And I’m not afraid to say that this is the aesthetic that drew me in. However, music cannot exist on looks alone, no matter how important the packaging might be, this isn’t Factory innit. In any case, this release stands on its own two feet quite comfortably, the output therein being a constantly oscillating collection of left field, melodic electronica, some of which is for dancing, and some not. Break beats occupying different areas of the spectrum are present and correct (‘Rokkaku Group’, ‘Bus 11’, ‘Renmont’). ‘Miocene’ never quite comes to the boil, but it’s interesting to listen to its undulations. While ‘Vaultt’ is somewhere between the break beat nether world and tense ambience. It’s a very interesting release with depth, range and drama and it gives me a sense of uncertainty, which is nice.
