The latest in broken dub techno, having evolved through the Click & Cut era and the UK bass scene! HOWES, founder of 〈CONG BURN〉, releases a new work under the alias PAPERCLIP MINIMISER. High-pitched rhythmic experiments utilizing double-speed techniques and delicate soundscapes. Three tracks that break new ground in the untapped potential of micro-dub techno.
Track List

A new release from the cutting-edge dance label 〈BLANK MIND〉, home to technical masters like TAMMO HESSELINK, DJ OJO, and BIG HANDS! JOHN HOWES, an audio dance specialist renowned for his releases under the HOWES moniker on labels like 〈YOUTH〉 and 〈ONO〉, as well as for his own platform and software label, 〈CONG BURN〉. The avant-garde bass track “TT A1” (sample 1) captivates with its rhythm programming—a fusion of powerful 150 BPM percussion, experimented with at double speed, and light, nimble movements combined with masterful technique. Featuring tracks like “TT A2” (sample 2), where ambient sounds and bass lines ebb and flow pleasantly, this release is truly the culmination of advanced sound processing.
