Solidifying a productive year with dozens of releases, the Droid aka Ben Evans, marks his Woodwork debut with a power packed EP of intriguing electro tracks, delivering monstrous remixes alongside.

Opening with 'paranoia', the Droid's style immediately becomes apparent in its minimalist sonic landscape. Framed in classic 808 rhythms, Evans hits a quirky, abstract nerve with aggressive bass hits and resonant LFO synth tweakery. A solid mix layer, serving as a constant energetic ride.

The title cut, 'rewire the system' offers up the same punchy beat foundation and gets a little deeper, with breaks trading off against four-to-the-floor. The retro flavour of the pads and cosmic flow of various swells, miniature funky bass lines and anguished robo-vocalizations perhaps portray a machine striving toward a more human experience.

Mr. Gentle steps up for the first altered version and gets straight into dramatic sci-fi territory while maintaining the original spaciousness of the Droid approach. He succeeds in taking the beats to an alternate energy level while implementing some ominous breakdowns and infectious acid work to further the plot line of the track.

We are in for a noticeably trippy excursion as Francois Dillinger takes the helm. The 808 feel is drastically withdrawn and chill, with a rolling, funky resolve that perfectly sets up the smoky tapestry of psychedelia over top. The bass and atmospherics are drawn out to an expansive harmonic rhythm somewhere between deeply groovy and completely zoned-out.

The Droid meets Pablo Splice for 'beat the machine'. The two combine opposing aesthetics to craft a unique hybrid contraption from spare parts. The Droid's cycling repetition and minimalist sound design are on lock over his familiar 808 stylings. Pablo Splice counters this with a characteristic, snaky, atonal stab melody underpinned by a complimentary mid-range bass line, with both elements achieving a brash, down-sampled, digital edge.

Lloyd Stellar crafts an impressive thematic rework of 'beat the machine' that features a relentless upbeat swagger - a proper battle workout for the floor. Expanded sonic movement in the bass, twisted harmonic pad variations, tough and punchy blips, urgent vocoder verses, and a massive anthemic section of rave hits, keep this catchy remix moving through exciting revelations from start to finish.

The Droid saves a profound statement for the end with his 'amen experiment'. This unique track recalls a laid back 808 feel, similar to the previous Francois Dilinger workout, but then treats this to subtle ambient chord shifts behind some carefully layered breakbeats. These elements clash and combine wonderfully, ending this EP in an absorbed but lucid mood.

Rewire the System

The Droid - Rewire The System (wood063 Preview)

LectrO cOd_E returns to Woodwork with a relentless 5-track electro EP. As expected of the follow up to his previous Woodwork release ‘cOd_E Violation’, the sound is intense and the energy is raw.

'Infamous bass' kicks things off with choppy breaks and immense growling sub bass hits. Skittish synth work connects intimately with a pulverizing drum kit tinged with resonant flanger effects.

Bass drones are a common theme that runs throughout the EP, connecting the tracks as a seamless experience. 'Resistance is futile' serves up a series of dramatic hits perfectly aligned with bubbling synth, low rider breaks and that subsonic bass drone.

'Invading' quickens the pace a notch and features several passes of resonant filter bleep loops and rising effects. This increased flow winds nicely toward the abstract percussive banger, 'the force'. Kick drums, toms and noise hits punch in unison, sharing an infectious interplay that forms a unique centerpiece for this collection.

Closing the EP is 'outraged', reminiscent of Lectro cOd_E's earlier work on his cOd_E Violation EP, but also a solid bridge to this present incarnation of his sound and approach.

MARICAS was born in January 2018 due to several discussions about the lack of a night-out in Barcelona that combined electronic music and the queer scene. If we look back on history, the techno rave community started with the help of the LGBTQ+ misfits of the 80s. Both communities have very similar values, freedom, youth and underground culture. Our home is Barcelona, but we aim to take MARICAS all over the globe, and have already had nights in Stockholm, Ibiza, Paris, Valencia and participated in Whole Festival. In 2020 MARICAS Records was founded, a genre music fluid label, and the first release was non other than by resident and maricas mother ISAbella.

Aggression

TL Premiere : The Droid - Aggression [Crobot Muzik]

Based in London and part of the London Modular family, Begg has a ton of knowledge and experience of modular synthesis that he enjoys using to play around with the listener’s mind.

In his own words he describes his approach, “I guess my kind of modus operandi is to freak people out a bit. I like the idea that someone listens to one of my tunes and thinks what the fuck was that sound or that little break. I guess I want them to ask a question, even if this question isn't related to what they've just heard.”

This is his debut EP and the tracklist was curated to showcase his wide approach to feeling and sound. With bumping up tempo moments, pure bangers, playful shufflers and meditative moments making up the overall experience of Corporal Pun.

This is the second in a series of digital releases from some new electronic producers which will culminate in a various artists vinyl package in 2020.
