OW5 Loek Frey - Add Interaction

Loek Frey’s Add Interaction is an exercise in damp, eerie atmospherics and intricate drum patterns. On this latest Omen Wapta release, the Dutch producer hones the experimental shades of his sound traversing drum and bass, IDM and breakbeat deconstructed with unexpected tempo shifts and effects.

Produced during the pandemic, the six-track EP explores and conjures a sense of loneliness, solitude and unfamiliarity. The producer is attuned to exploring the boundaries of music production and doesn’t shy from taking the listener to unexpected places. Experimental sounds shift between celestial and subterranean realms. There are tunneling, meditative low-end structures fit for a journey through the earth’s layers down to its core. Meanwhile expansive, pearlescent vocals evoke spiritual bodies. Soundscape-leaning IDM is woven into polyrhythms and muted breakbeat stitching tight, individual tracks into an overall engaging listening experience.

Add Interaction was a response to a time when introspection was our default status. The EP invites an opportunity to engage with the sounds and world around us in a different way. Frey’s release positions him as a teacher of brooding textures. The unpredictability can draw you deep into the sonic abyss — if you let it.
