'Blue Nine', my contribution to 'Streetlight' Vol 2, available now at https://repertoire.bandcamp.com/

Blue Nine

These two tracks were both written as lockdown was beginning back in early 2020, and contain all the paranoid vibes and desolate textures conjured up by that point in time. Initially meant to be succinct, aggressive ‘Dj tools’, they’ve since taken on an odd life of their own as I began revamping them this year.

Caution: [88 Katanas / MEC081] contains remotely triggered subprograms ***Sprawl Heavy’ (06:48:00)*** and ***Vape Pen( 06:45:00)*** : weapon-grade techstep sim/stim constructs of unlimited subjective dimension. Designed for high sound-pressure levels and max damage in isolated urban quadrants. Direct exposure may cause hypnagogic images to strobe at disruptive 170BPM intervals, resulting in sequential decay (bit-rot) to core command/central logic terminals.
