Science fiction, psychosis and savagery converge: The ever-enigmatic Redshape returns to his own label Present with this propulsive and decidedly unearthly release.
BLEEP REPEAT makes for a potent first track. Here, a humping step gives way to synth lines that sting and swell across solar systems. Things get headier, grittier, reaching a furious and frightening rush with spectral soundbites to match. A homage to UK rave sounds, this track perfectly captures the uncanny pairing of aggression and rapture at the heart of 90s bleep.
PAPER BLADES follows, a celestial soundscape punctuated with hissing breakbeats and a sinewy bassline. Rippling acid lines beam along the astral plane, and a hallucinatory, near-liturgical melody meanders all the while. Spaced-out yet inexplicably driving, this track is elevating, enveloping ¿ definitely one for transcending.
Be warned: this is not your typical peak-time standby. This release is as challenging as it is epic, and will serve skilled djs well.
