Track Of The Day: Wulf n'Bear - Raptures Of The Deep B1 Untitled (20/20 Vision)


The third release on 20/20 Vision, a label that is still going strong. However, it’s debatable if anything has ever bettered this collaboration between label head Ralf Lawson, Paul Huggett and the omnipresent Carl Finlow. The bassline defines it, but the cohesion of the sound design, which seems to be an aural collage of variously patched together random noises, some of which sound like malfunctioning droids, others like the creatures from then upside down in ‘Stranger things’, is something else. This track induces instant head nodding and shape throwing whenever it’s played and bridges house/techno divide with flair.
