Murder Is The Number - dynArec (Cultivated Electronics)

 


Title: Murder Is The Number 

Artist: dynArec

Label: Cultivated Electronics 

Cat Number: CE041

Genre: Techno/Electro


A1: Stop & Stall

A2: First In Motion

B1: Specialized In Anything

B2: Lowest Perceived Legitimacy


French electro veteran dynArec debuts on Cultivated Electronics with and immediately proves that experience is the most important qualification for any job with a rip roaring record that comprises four ball busting cuts that show off his textured approach to manufacturing quintessential machine funk. ‘Stop & Stall’ is heavy, but bounces with all the vitality of a perfectly proportioned pair of devil’s dumplings. ‘Lowest Perceived Legitimacy’, on the other hand, shows a lightness of touch and an inclination to space age storytelling. Both ‘Specialized In Anything’ and ‘First In Motion’ run rampant over established patterns of syncopation, with the former having a similarly thudding feel to ‘Stop & Stall’, but more irate. And the latter more toned down and refreshingly jarring on all the right places. These two tunes feel a bit less restrained. However, ‘Stop & Stall’ is, for me, the best tune here and the one that could start a fight in an empty room.
