Bleep

Following two dub-infused EPs , Dutch producer Krampfhaft releases his debut album on local label Rwina Records. Obscure sci-fi sounds distinguish his style which spans everything from instrumental hip hop to electronica. Sawing synths and screaming effects break out in a shadowy dubstep direction in ‘Superfluid’. Clicks and space-like keyboard sounds diffuse a cold atmosphere against the reverberant bass drums in ‘Clip Point’. With the looping in ‘Extrasolar’ and ‘Deleted Alternate Scenes’, his hip hop influences become more apparent. It is these dense structures that make Before We Leave stand out as Kramphaft’s most complex work to date.
