A mysteriously unsettling curveball of dub techno, from the sunken, fused-together weight of the kicks and bass to the abstract, drifting ragga samples. Australian maverick FADER CAP — also known for his SEDGWICK alias and BUTTER SESSIONS releases — returns to his own platform 〈STRAIGHT 2 IT〉 to deconstruct dub techno! The rounded low end and soft-on-the-ears attack that are his trademarks pair beautifully with dub techno.
FADER CAP—a unique artist who releases tracks on the prestigious CRAIGIE KNOWES label while also exploring DIY sounds, such as incorporating cassette tape hiss, on STRAIGHT 2 IT RECORDINGS—is back with a new release! “Louder” (sample 1) features a rounded kick and a rich, full-bodied bassline, mysteriously layered with samples and acid synths. “Quack Quack” (sample 2) is a dub-tech track with a single-note, pitch-shifted bassline that moves in a tricky, unpredictable way. Also included is “Ability (Midnight Impulse Dub)” (sample 3), an ambient stepper track featuring emotionally charged, soft synth pads.
