Hünter returns to Ommaya with his debut LP 'Cypress,' a deeply personal exploratory expansion of his sound inspired by memories from his childhood. NYC-based Bell Curve @bell_curve (co-founder of the incredible albeit no longer active Worst Behavior) and San Diego's Bloodhound contribute remixes that flip Hünter's ethereal offerings into two undeniable head knockers.

Hünter wrote a few words on the project:

"The album's core focus is the sounds of my nostalgia. As a young boy, my father and I would often travel to British Columbia and I’d help around our property on Bowen Island. I’d be by myself in the thick of weeds and plants toying with garden machinery while my dad blasted opera and choral music in the house. These were times of solace in my youth, as a kid I spent a lot of time alone. Bowen was and still is my favorite place on earth.

The title ‘Cypress’ is the name of the ski resort that you can barely see from the East shores of the island. Its lights twinkle in the clouds at night. It speaks to the environment of which this album is built upon. Towering mountains, large bodies of water, cool breeze, greenery, fresh crisp air. Stunning summers and comfy winters.

The album was greatly inspired by artists like Autechre, Lee Gamble, Boards of Canada, Bjarki and Loraine James. Without intent it naturally came together with a variety of genres. Projects range from December ’22 to April ’24 and include a variety of field recordings from this period."

Hünter - Sediment (Bell Curve Remix)

Bell Curve’s polymorphic music never stays in the same place for long. From hyperkinetic jungle-footwork hybrids to heavyweight steppers, the New York-via-Texas producer’s prolific output is in a state of constant flux. Each of Bell Curve’s kaleidoscopic tracks, eclectic DJ sets and forward-looking mixes for her residency on Rinse FM's Bristol station SWU FM are anchored by chest-rattling bass pressure but always evolving, forging new pathways from the club out into the cosmos. Recent acclaimed releases have seen the producer picked up by SSPB / Seilscheibenpfeiler, Dome of Doom and Moveltraxx, including a collaboration with Tampa rap duo They Hate Change which was hailed by Bandcamp as, quite simply, “the business” in their Best Electronic Music column. Bell Curve’s Snake in the Grass EP for her own new Raspberry Rhythms label collects tracks that are simultaneously some of the producer’s most ambitious, expansive and yet focused work to date, including a new team-up with Jamaican-born, Switzerland-based dancehall queen Lateena.

The Snake in the Grass EP is underpinned by a looming sense of dread, grappling with the anxieties of trying to exist and move forward in an era where we’re bombarded by constant, extinction-level threats. The title track emerges from primordial murk, an undulating bassline skulking through the undergrowth, sending percussive fragments skittering off before it as the track slowly winds up into a mesmeric, slow-motion stepper. “Stop (Call Mi Phone)” dials up the humidity, delving into mutant dancehall pressure with vocalist Lateena’s buttery flow curling around the bounce and swing of Bell Curve’s body rhythms. “Pitch and Whine” slinks back into the gloom, playing with space and tension. After-echoes of drum breaks spark around the track’s tectonic pulse, providing a fizzing sense of anticipation that bubbles just beneath the surface, threatening to tip over into full-on frenzy at any moment.

Rather than indulging in pure hedonistic escapism, the three tracks compiled here face the ever-present anxieties of contemporary living head on, with Bell Curve imbibing them into her hypnotic soundscapes. The Snake in the Grass EP is laden with disquiet, but it is also defiant and resolute - using the act of creation itself as a way to process and navigate through the madness.
