Stargate is the handle for one Lorenzo Senni, and he makes a kind of shimmering, sludged and epic hybrid that sounds somewhere between Hype Williams, a narcotic variant of AraabMuzik and slowed down, inverted Trance. Lorenzo falls in line with the subversive aesthetics of James Ferraro and Hype Williams as well and starts off more or less where Daniel 'Oneohtrix' Lopatin left his KGB Man alias with Ian Van Dahl's 'Castles In The Sky', "...something in between pre-sleep Tetris Effect and Trance music in slowmotion: gated soft synth arpeggios smoothly modulate towards brutal supersawed patterns, disintegrating into ecstatic vocals." First cut 'Born 2 Love' goes deeep, locking us below slow, shallow waves of arpeggio, Eddy Current's wailing axe and an emo G-beat, while 'Dawn Of The Cryogenics' gradually calibrates noise scrawl with submerged yacht bliss dynamics, leaving 'Driving Hyperreality' on a spiralling ascension to new levels of R&B melancholy. So good... (Boomkat, http://bit.ly/MLnvTV)
