Bleep

Berlin native and Hidden Hawaii boss Felix Krone steps up to London’s Blackest Ever Black with a three track EP of dismantled, ambient junglist electronics. Although it’s not his first unconventional take on the genre, the abstraction that dominates Tragedy Of The Commons could be mistaken for a further departure from his involvement in the drum’n’bass scene dating back to the mid 90s – yet its elements find their way into Krone’s epic productions in their deconstructed forms. The EP is centred around the 17-minute title track, a story told by the disconcerting voices of its field recordings, continuous arpeggio and rumbling bass. As the bloodcurdling drone crescendos to overwhelming power only the shadow of a beat appears – whereas the opener is all about notion, Onar Anxiety’s remix of ‘Fundamentals’ beats its tribal drums, forcing the rhythm back into public amid peals of laughter from synths of evil souls.
