Space Dimension Controller - Cro2ma (Hypercolour)

 


Title: Cro2ma

Artist: Space Dimension Controller

Label: Hypercolour

Cat Number: HYPE092

Genre: Techno


1: Cro2ma

2: IG00158

3: Highborne


On this release for Hypercolour, Space Dimension Controller serves up some timeless glitch. Very understated, but with the devil in the detail. The three tracks here all have similarities in their rhythm patterns and the way that they have been elementally layered. Both ‘Cro2ma’ and ‘IG00158’ rely on off beat breaks, which are neutered by disparate tonal elements that coalesce to preserve a temporaneous fragility. There’s a lot to like. It’s very danceable while at the same time for the heads. ‘Highborne’ is my favourite nugget here; utilising a shifting, funky bass line, it operates more in the shadows. Employing similar elements to the other two tracks, but more toned down, its subtlety is its calling card and although the bass dominates, the ear is drawn to what lies behind it.
