Following the instant success and subsequent repress of its inaugural release, Stones Taro's self-release experiment 'Foglore' returns with its second installment, further expanding the captivating universe built in Part 1. Rooted in the same core concept-a seamless blend of dubby, fog-laden sound design and a timeless aura reminiscent of ancient folklore-this four-track EP solidifies the very definition of 'Foglore.' On the A-side, 'Weather Wheel' sets an energetic tone as masterfully mixed, chopped breakbeats seamlessly dissolve into hazy, atmospheric pad sounds. It is followed by 'Moss Pulse,' a track whose precise sound design acts as a natural hub bridging the worlds of Dub Techno and Dubstep. On the flip, 'Whorls Of Smoke' delivers a fresh, hypnotic dance cut driven by an intricate interplay between a half-step groove and tam strikes. Closing the EP, 'Acid Fog Ritual' combines sticky acid basslines with a deliberate, low-tempo beat to generate a deeply immersive psychdelia. Expanding on its predecessor while boldly redefining its own boundaries, Foglore#2 stands as a brilliant testament to Stones Taro's evolving sonic vision.
