Having collaborated on a regular basis since 2017, Korin Complex and Carter Wolfe have been continually exploring new ways to work with sound. While 2020 saw the release of their track ‘Ponder’ on the Winding River EP (Miracle Drug Recordings), we are excited to be putting out a brand new collaborative release from Korin Complex and Carter Wolfe on Off-Switch Audio. After many years refining their sound, ‘Airlock EP’ demonstrates a satisfyingly fun and hands-on approach to dance music. Capturing analogue synth jams and digitally building them into fully-fledged tracks together via the internet, the pair have creatively overcome barriers of lockdowns and long-distance to put together a heavy hitting combo of bass, beats and catchy synth-lines.
The EP begins with the title track Airlock. The track gradually morphs punching polyrhythmic percussion into melodies that gracefully rotate around the higher frequencies. This leaves the perfect amount of space for the slow, decaying reverberations to ring back-and-forth between the smooth pitch modulated bass in a complex chatter of sound.
Filament then uses a similar sonic palette, filling the space with thick textures and fast-paced rhythmic intricacies. This one re-contextualises nostalgic analogue synth tones with digital FX processing, placing you in a somewhat outer-worldly musical experience perfectly accompanied with aggressive low frequency energy; Filament is truly one for those lone entrancing moments on the dancefloor.
Next up, Korin Complex takes on a more playful approach with Busywork. Although this one is a solo production from Korin, Busywork retains much of the energy of the previous two tracks. Cut up vocal samples syncopate above a heavy four-to-the-floor kick pattern, alongside an accidentally generated synth lead and an overload of electronic drum kit hits.
Finally, long-time accomplice of the Off-Switch imprint Barom, puts a brand new spin on Airlock. Combining loopy electro style drums with elements from the original, and signature organic sound design switch ups of his own, Barom takes the title track to an exciting new territory; the perfect encore to complete OSD009.
