Dawl has been an essential producer for the last few years, reshaping the bleep sound into his own image, his tracks expertly twist space and time, bending it to his will and refreshing the genre. As such, UTTU seems a natural home for his productions. All of the tracks here owe a debt to the Warp sound of the late eighties/early nineties whose time, it would seem, has come around once more. ‘Pocket Universe’ feels like LFO circa ‘LFO’, had they opted to go further down the more obvious dance floor direction, as does ‘Beyond Low Earth Orbit’, but with less bass propulsion. The percussion is more emphatic on both ‘Hysteria’ and ‘Axis’ while that on ‘Axis’ meets the echolocation sonar vibe halfway. There isn’t a beat wasted on this release and, strategically deployed these five tunes should enhance any like-minded set. Keep it linear and groovy, and then break it up a tadge with some well-placed steel city inspired inflections. That’s what I plan to do anyway.
