OMAR AKHRIF, who has carved out a unique niche for himself through his production work centered on analog machines, has a new release out on 〈IDRA RECORDS〉, a label he helps run! Featuring tracks like the minimal techno “Just A Lamp”—which creates a mysterious, swaying atmosphere with ethereal, crystal-clear synth phrases, voice samples, and occasional bursts of electronic sparks—and the hypnotic electro “Slingshot,” where serpentine acid lines weave freely through the groove, The intuitive insertion of electronic pulses and subtle rhythmic shifts lend a wavering quality to the groove. This release is currently available exclusively on vinyl! (Original Japanese text by Akie)
