Stockholm’s Valdemar returns to W133 for his debut solo EP (W133013) on the label to close out the year. The artist, who was part of W133001, the first ever release by the label, now shines with 4 psychedelic, techy house stompers. The first tune and title giver of the EP, “Afterimage,” is a creeping roller that evolves from deep roaring sounds into an acid-driven weapon. The second tune on the A-side is called “Reptiler” and creeps in with tweaking high synth shots and nasty, deep rumbling basslines. On the flip side, “Voltage Limb” sets the pace. Creepy voices and swung acid lines make the tune one to heat up any dance floor. The last tune, “Unrealtime,” is another acid-driven wonker which slowly puts you into hypnosis and lets the EP fade out.
“Afterimage” will be available from 28.11. on in all digital stores, as well as a 25-copy vinyl dubplate edition, as always with a printed cover sleeve featuring a photograph by Philipp Roth.
