Dez Williams returns to Mechatronica with Forlorn Figures in Godforsaken Places, dropping a stormy dose of diverse electro and machine funk for the Berlin based label.

Speedy, relentless electro cuts ‘Xen’ and ‘Carkrash Vikdim’ make up the A side, driven by haunting samples, rumbling basslines and eyes-down energy. Hypnotic roller ‘On the Verge’ opens the flip with dazzling keys and forceful drum programming, before ‘Tromb’ closes off the EP in murky fashion through a robotic, hazed electro chant.
