Bleep

Mark Fell and Sasu Ripatti’s release for Sensate Focus is a beguiling spin on instrumental house. ‘X’ opens with skittery cymbals and clipped pads before sliding into an beat hybrid, like Autechre flirting with R&B. ‘Y’ twists the 4/4 rhythm even harder and transmits morse code through vocal samples and mad, clicking drums. The beatwork’s so intricate that anyone mixing this deserves an automatic residence.
