Bleep

Rivet's sleek, sophisticated techno heavily came to the fore in 2012 as a burgeoning sound of the underground, and with the releases on Naked Index, Skudge and Kontra Musik rolling out, 2013 could be an establishing year. The work of Swedish producer, Mika Adam Erik Hallbäck Vuorenpää, 'Amid the Roar' serves up rumbling rhythms, blasts of two-step energy, and woozy drones. Moody and atmospheric, where 'Metrist' moves with industrial beats and dark intent, 'Sleepwalker' sounds off with gravelly percussion and snapshots of broken melody. The fact that both tracks featured on DJ Scuba's DJ Kicks compilation should be all the approval you need.
