Maelstrom
Adversarial Design
Release date: 20 October 2014
Release/catalogue number: ZONE18

1) Adversarial Design
2) Introduction to Entropy
3) Species
4) Genome

2014 is shaping up to be a big year from French producer Maelstrom, his collaboration with Louisahhh!!! was named Mixmag’s ‘Electro Track of the Month’ in February, whilst the ‘Discord’ EP found it’s way into the record bags of DJs from DFA’s Gavin Russon to Ed Banger’s Busy P. Now to cap a triumphant year he returns to The Hacker & Gesaffelstein’s ZONE Records with a new 4 track EP, ‘Adversarial Design’.

Pulsing with menace the title track ‘Adversarial Design’ transports us to the dark and grimy warehouses of Maelstrom’s misspent youth where he first discovered the joy of techno. ‘Introduction to Entropy’ meanwhile leads us away from the dancefloor, but this is chill out music only in the sense that its icey ambience is likely to send shivers down your spine as it’s synths glisten like frosted spiders’ webs in the morning light.

Pulling us back to the dark heart of clubland, ‘Species’ ups the ante with its driving beats, overdriven bassline and echoing synths that bounce around the track, disorientating and disarming the listener in equal measure. Finally ‘Genome’ propels us into the cold extremity of outer space, its sparse and desolate electro beat adorned by just the barest of accompaniments, the final death rattle of a sentient AI system frozen in orbit around Jupiter.

Maelstrom - Species (preview)

Maelstrom - Genome (preview)

Maelstrom's next release via Zone is set to drop soon and we have the premiere of the lead cut.

'Adversarial Design' isn't a track that you'd show your mum unless she's into violent, stabbing and demonic techno music.

Once again the track shows off Maelstrom's fine production skills and promotes a sound so dark that it's only suitable for the bleakest of raves.
