TERRAIN – Scatter EP – 12” – Vinyl [APR 10]

Description

12” – Limited Edition Black Vinyl.

Taut drum science and steely atmospheres are the order of the day as Terrain deliver
a moody, stripped-back four-track EP for Livity Sound. The partnership of Forest Drive West and Voytek has so far yielded sharply-focused releases for Delsin’s Mantis seriesand Vargmal, finding the synergy between lean, intricate drum & bass and heads-down, experimental techno.

On ‘Barossa Dub‘, the pair pitch down to a half-time, dancehall-angled groove to
propel a heavily-dubbed soundscape and system-ready bass. ‘Nica‘ maintains the low-
slung swagger while steadily ratcheting up the dread. On the flip, ‘Scatter‘ winds the
pressure back up with a punchy broken techno workout that teeters on the edge of
breakbeat. ‘Hive‘ opts for a brooding, purring techno meditation that thrives on slow
release and intricately crafted sound design, capping o a diverse trip through
austere club modernism.
