Tribal percussive drums and rhythmic bass. Solid, rock-steady dub-soaked grooves paired with a bouncing rhythmic skeleton — exquisitely balanced leftfield techno! Released on 〈ANIMALIA〉, a home for sonic craftsmen, by AEDIS — one half of the buzzed-about Spanish duo IRO AKA, who has issued work on 〈HIVERN DISCS〉 and 〈TERRA MAGICA〉.
Track List
The 18th outing on KIA's 〈ANIMALIA〉, a label whose roster has included the likes of LOU KARSH and COMMAND D. Kicking off with "Saense" (sample1), which docks a bouncing bassline onto staccato drum percussion, the record unfolds a series of rhythm experiments steeped in the essence of dub. From the mutant acid-laced minimal tribal breakbeat of "Extarnel" (sample2) on out, the craftsmanship in the rhythms and textures is astonishing. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
