Bleep

Aquarian brings out the boxing gloves for the second part of his Mutations EP series, punching in some incredibly visceral beats with piledriving house rhythms and twisted breakcore. Following his 2020 debut album The Snake That Eats Itself, his first offerings for Dekmantel give a more restless and maximalist energy. The broiling bassline on ‘Delicious Intent’ becomes fried with high energy techno stabs, a dazzling jazz break of sax and drum fireworks explodes ‘A Familiar Place’, and the mercurial ‘If U Wanna’ is tightly packed with ephemeral clips of scrambling beats and contorted strobes of guitar flashes.
