#37 Feat. Staff Picks in Electronica

Asymmetric boss Inigo Kennedy returns to his label with an intriguing five track EP Calm In The Storm. The title track Calm In The Storm sets the mood with a mournful yet calming pad that rises and falls against a solid four-to-the-floor driving rhythm. Peculiar Turns follows in quirky fashion; off kilter beats and mysterious sonic fragments coming and going. Rumble Strip centres the release; a booming rhythm, undulating percussion and waves of arpeggio. Next up is Scotch Mist, an altogether darker affair setting tinges of drum and bass against a playful melody. To finish is Pulse Dialing, an organic toe-tapper of pure techno minimalism; sonic solace if ever there was a better way of putting it.
