Following his triumphant return to Kompakt with SICKO (KOMPAKT 322), REX THE DOG digs deeper into the circuits of his custom-built modular synth on YOU ARE A BLADE, delivering a powerful trio of sharply contoured jams ready to cut to the chase. A true master of expressive might within a limited set of sounds, the much-acclaimed producer introduces the title track with breezy, shimmering arpeggios that are soon joined by a weighty, throbbing bassdrum - a lean and mean stealth banger that stands as unwavering as it is playful. The flipside builds an impressive amount of momentum as muscular acid-fest MUSIK HYPNOTISES stakes out raw and pounding synth stabs with its titular refrain, giving those straight-shooting riffs a properly wonked-out feel. Meanwhile, dry-witted closer WASP FACTORY pairs raspy synths with kinetic drum rolls and boldly cut-up vocal samples, another deceptively simple arrangement trimmed to perfection and for maximum effect.

Nach seiner triumphalen Rückkehr zu Kompakt mit SICKO (KOMPAKT 322) vergräbt sich REX THE DOG auf YOU ARE A BLADE noch tiefer in den Schaltkreisen seines selbstgebauten Modular-Synthesizers und präsentiert ein kraftvolles Trio an trennscharfen Tracks, allzeit bereit auf den Punkt zu kommen. Ein echter Meister expressiver Durchschlagskraft inmitten eines limitierten Klangsets, führt der hochgelobte Produzent mit luftig-schillernden Arpeggios an den Titeltrack heran, zu denen sich bald eine gewichtige, pochende Bassdfrum gesellt - ein schlanker Tarnkappenbomber, der ebenso standfest wie verspielt daher kommt. Die B-Seite baut mit der muskulösen Acidparty MUSIK HYPNOTISES beeindruckenden Schwung auf: raues Synthie-terrain wird vom namensgebenden Refrain abgesteckt und gibt dem Ganzen einen angemessen verpeilten Einschlag. Derweil verbandelt der lakonische Abschluss-Schieber WASP FACTORY kratzende Keyboards mit wirbelnden Trommeln und forsch zerlegten Vocal- Samples - ein weiteres täuschend einfaches Arrangement, passgenau zurechtmoduliert und auf maximalen Effekt getrimmt.
