Bleep

Following on from his 2013 EP on DIY label Opal Tapes, Chicago producer Patricia returns with three tracks of hardware techno for Spectral Sound. Opener ‘Drip Down’ is centred on a drum machine groove and an unsettling deep-voiced vocal sample. ‘Hulderhusan’ is more towards the ambient side of Patricia’s work, the track’s 808 rhythms undercut by an elegiac synth backing. ’Foie Gras’ is a jacking house number, its kick drums so heavily submerged in tape hiss that they sound almost like they’re dissolving.
