A bizarre tribal dub masterpiece featuring a psychedelic collage of overtones. This solo album by DETRAEX CORP—who has also experimented with rhythm and sound as part of the unit RAIN TEXT—is fantastic! Centered on dub and tribalism, it’s a heavy dub trip packed with a wide variety of electronic sounds and sound effects. Released on London’s DIY sound frontier label SAGOME, which also features artists like SSIEGE and MEMOTONE.
Track List
The debut album from DETRAEX CORP, the solo project of GIOVANNI CIVITENGA—one half of the electronic techno duo RAIN TEXT and also known as an NTS resident! An experiment in deconstructed tribal rhythms and dub-inspired bass control. Tracks include “Myth Prism Strip” (sample 1), which explodes in free-form hand drums and disorients with a collage of acoustic overtones, all delivered with immersive sound; “Expect Except,” which revolutionizes half-time rhythms; and “Bullet Holes,” featuring a seductively captivating saxophone hook. A collection of experimental tribal dub tracks that shake you with powerful percussion and a pulsating, heavy presence. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
