UNLAFWUL_

Anarcho-mountaineer, goretex voyer, visual artist, director and electronic producer XDCVR (OOH-sounds, Opal Tapes, Detroit Underground) returns to OOH-sounds with a radical, stream of consciousness release titled UNALFWUL. Produced over the past two years purely on his iPad, this collection of tracks exudes a claustrophobic, minimal aura.

Over 11 cryptically titled tracks the New Orleans based producer utilises zapping stabs, noisy synths, booming bass and clanging beats to introduce his vision of stripped back, deconstructed electronic music – this is dance music at its barest, most skeletal. Many tracks begin and end abruptly and listening really feels like peering into some kind of private archive of raw sketches; there's mystery, rough edges, but also a special kind of magic.

Initially even delivered to the label purely in mono, the tracks were transferred onto tape and stereoized by label-mate and friend Glass (of Caen France) to give them a more spatialized image.

Intensely pulsating tracks sit alongside more atmospheric, noisy cuts; slick, bouncing rhythms deteriorate into decaying, static-infused, nervous patterns. It's music simultaneously infused with hi-vis, technological sheen as well as a hectic, fragmented energy.(Adam Badí Donoval)
