Premiere: Rizu X - New Fluids

Artist: @xiaoquanxiaoquanxiaoquan
Catalogue Number: IM090
Album: A Taste of Revenge
Release Date: May 28th, 2021
Format: Digital

Having spent the latter half of 2020 pushing out a string of intense bootlegs via SoundCloud and taking up remix duties for acts like Ice_Eyes, São Paulo’s Xiao Quan is readying some original productions for his debut release on Infinite Machine, entitled A Taste of Revenge. These frantic, drum-heavy compositions see the artist push further into a liminal space where techno and hybrid club sounds blend - and continues a stylized nod to Xiao Quan’s muse, The Crying Freeman manga series.

The record opens with Chakram Intel Bulletins; one of the EP’s more measured moments but one that remains as tense and claustrophobic as the rest of Taste of Revenge. The layers of crunching analogue synthesis and the deluge of drum hits which seem to trip over each other are hypnotic; creating strange and disorienting effects on the ear. The end result has more than an air of the cyberpunk about it - as if Vatican Shadow tried his hand re-soundtracking Ghost In The Shell.

Xiao Quan notches up the dread and suspense on the following title track of the EP. Airy sustained tones and an unrelenting mass of polyrhythms push up against each other, vying for your attention before a piercing 2-tone melody cuts through the mix like a hot knife through butter.

With the next track, Shades of Death, the creeping suspense and claustrophobia of the previous two compositions is swapped out for unadulterated rhythmic chaos. Underpinned by an oscillating bass pulse, countless samples and drum lines are arranged in a frenetic audio-collage. A solid showcase of Xiao Quan’s skillful combining of sounds from across the globe.

The EP rounds off with The Crying Freeman, a track named after the manga that underpins many elements of the Xiao Quan project. The most melodic production of the release, the track’s mournful synth line glides over rushing, mechanistic drum patterns. This blend of the emotional and the machinic distinctly mirrors the situation of the manga’s protagonist; an assassin hypnotically programmed to kill on his master’s demand who sheds tears at the fate of his victims.

Even a passing glance at panels of The Crying Freeman manga clearly shows that Xiao Quan has done his homework on his source material. The producer masterfully channels the uneasy and shadowy world of the manga series and translates it into the sonic experience that is A Taste of Revenge EP.

Tracklist:

1. Chakram Intel Bulletins
2. A Taste of Revenge

“Say It Again” -Will sharp

A dollar sign ($) is the symbol found on the same key as the number four. Why is this important, you may sweetly ask? Because it’s put there just FOUR you! No but seriously, when you seek to make an expression, of your dreams, your reveries, you look towards that marker and it howls to you. Almost weeping, you hit it, an absolute cell of reference is called down and it sounds unerringly like this release. So well-met, hmurd, quietly, a soothsayer of little club mutations, has produced this very countenance. It’s seely music -- deserving of compassion -- and if you email hmurd for the code that runs it, you’ll find a litany of $ signs which speak to this. Innocent figures which swill along. A hub world, e-delightful. Line to line in joy.

From sweaty electro to brutal techno, these two new avengers pay an homage to the raw sound of the machines !
