Known for his original sound design that makes full use of dub, his work usually features abstract designs where the beat is hard to pin down—but this release is a curveball, exploring tightly woven, bouncy beats and 4/4 drive! MAMMO, an avant-garde techno artist known for his intriguing, mysterious approach—including a self-run label that has spawned numerous complex sub-labels and activities under pseudonyms that elude identification—releases a new 12-inch record as 2601!
Track List
MAMMO—who has released tracks on key labels like SHORT SPAN, home to artists such as YU SU and CENTRAL—presents a new release under the mysterious alias HEAVEN SMILE! In a departure from his signature abstract electronic dub sound, this track features a solid four-on-the-floor approach. Side A is a dub-tech track where tight drums bounce in sync with pleasantly punchy synths, featuring psychedelic, dissonant synth textures. The B-side, with its even heavier and harder techno vibe, features a straight-ahead 4/4 beat cutting through layered noise and lo-fi sounds, successfully balancing an unprecedented focus on the dance floor with his signature experimental spirit.
