Bleep

Samuel Kerridge unites with Dva Damas/occasional Tropic Of Cancer member Taylor Burch for a real heart of darkness techno LP. Burch plays narrator on The Other, her icy prognostications hanging forebodingly over Kerridge’s tracks. The beats here - named ‘Transmissions’ - give off the impression that the sounds of this record are at war with each other. Drums and breakbeats clatter into one another, chilling synths hang in the air, and alien hums of sub bass punch through the mix. It’s an arresting listen, one that recalls Prurient and Belief Defect.
