Dez Williams – Consuming Shadow

https://dezwilliams-woodwork.bandcamp.com/album/consuming-shadow

01 – See-Eye-Hey
02 – Coiled Spring
03 – Hashing Past
04 – Take You For Granted
05 – Consuming Shadow
06 – Silvios Joint

'Consuming Shadow' concludes a year-long series of explosive EPs from Dez Williams. A broad realm has been established through the 29 tracks it contains, with this final instalment pushing the outer edges and re-establishing the depth and artistry Dez offers with each set.

'See-eye-hey' treads mostly in electro territory, with windup synths and newsreel vocal chop in effect, opening into a wide open cinematic blast section. The stylized snappy breakbeat fills and drum patterns wedge their way under an amp-boosted polyrhythmic acid sequence, setting up an all-in section that feels like a destination at the height of tension.

'Coiled spring' captures a raw, edgy beast of a jam. An absurd collection of wandering synths exploring a cyclical pattern, only to be repeatedly boxed in by heavy breathing drum fx and jacking breaks. Abstract stuff but no nonsense here.

Electro techno with a detroit bent and a bleep slant converges in 'hashing past' but nothing about this track sounds misplaced or outdated. Electro evolution still stretches toward future jazz and this number definitely wears its intellect proudly and to great effect.

A deeply modulated sync bass synth runs the show in 'take you for granted'. The slippery leads and low end are balanced by dry, punchy breaks. Layers of melodic themes weave and braid their way through a dynamic arrangement that wraps in a concise, stripped down outro.

The title track 'consuming shadow' is an ethereal drone through tense pads, infinite space and lost noise artefacts. Thick with tone but utterly desolate in mood, it evokes a sense of submission to detached and dystopian visions.

Ending with the deepest, most emotive track has become the convention in this series. So here we sign off with 'silvios joint', a pensive piece with classic elements and elegant composition. The lush backdrop of sliding strings, regal bass bumps and steady supporting rhythm track hold it down for continuous melodic variations in the top synth line. This is a gorgeous final statement that both asks and answers for itself.

Release Info :

Silicon Scally - Field Lines [Central Processing Unit]

Carl Finlow keeps on keeping on. As the world changes around him, the veteran producer continues to do what he does best - craft top-quality electro tunes which invoke the sound’s Drexciyan heyday, yet carry themselves with an assurance that is all of Finlow’s own. 

Finlow remains a prolific producer more than a quarter of a century on from his emergence. Still averaging several records a year across a variety of aliases, recent times have seen Finlow forge particularly strong links with the Central Processing Unit label. Now, after a run of EPs for the Sheffield imprint which began with 2018’s ‘Projections’, Finlow’s Silicon Scally project offers up CPU’s first drop of 2022 in the form of the ‘Field Lines’ LP. 

Silicon Scally productions have long been marked out by how they combine piston-precise beat programming with more textured synth play. ‘Field Lines’ runs with this formula to deliver some of Finlow’s most atmospheric material to date. At once shadowy and expansive, listening to ‘Field Lines’ is the aural equivalent of taking a night-time drive around some futuristic metropolis. 

The beats cruise sleekly here. Many of these burbling machine-funk numbers hover at mid-tempo, the crisp clip of their drum programming given shape and depth by all sorts of percussive tones fizzing around at the fringes of the mix. Even when ‘Field Lines’ seems to set its sights on the club - the Bunker Records-aping ‘Amino’, for instance, or the dystopian whizz-bang of ‘Static Fire’ - the tracks here strut sturdily rather than giving in to full-on freakouts.

However, from this sturdy base, Finlow moves outwards. Working with tones which range from rapid-fire machine-gun bass to keening, dawn chorus keyboard pads, Finlow leads us through the futurescape with the expertise of a seasoned guide. Cuts like ‘Submerged’ and ‘Yield’ are brilliantly cinematic, blooming from those reliable drum pulses into miniature masterpieces of nocturnal electronics. Elsewhere on ‘Field Lines’ there is a mechanical majesty to ‘Inhibitor’ and ‘Altered Domain’ which invokes the brave new worlds that Kraftwerk repeatedly conjured in their heyday.

Central Processing Unit’s first release of 2022 is ‘Field Lines’, an LP of electro-funk explorations from Carl Finlow’s Silicon Scally project which will thrill regardless of whether it’s experienced through headphones or out on the dancefloor.

TL PREMIERE : MindSync - 08003 [Infalux]

Galactic Funk co-founder Bertram lands on Dead Channel with his debut EP Kibra Cadena. Literally translated as ‘break chains’ in Aruban creole, and broadly referencing the breaking of colonial chains of imperial oppression, this six track EP of tense, brooding rhythms is driven and gritty. Spanning mutated psychedelic dub, Giallo-tinged cinematix, frenzied insidious acid, and methodically churning crispers, this stunning work is singular in its execution and focused in its vision. Visceral, heady, and relentless, this dark, genre-defying gem is a tour de force in sonic mastery.

Releases on limited cassette and digital March 18, 2022.

Mosh Pit  - Packtion

CoJack drives on duty through his hometown. But something’s off—streets blur, houses flicker, faces melt into static. The air hums with the tinny soundtrack of early computer games, looping endlessly, out of tune. Everything feels unknown, painful, unreal. He pulls over, realizing too late—he’s not driving through his hometown anymore, but through its fading memory of him ...
