Bleep

UK-based imprint Where To Now? continues to go from strength to strength, this time delivering a highly engaging, conceptual self-titled piece from Death Of Rave signee Natalia Martínez Ordóñez (N.M.O). The piece acts as a critique, exploration and deconstruction of genrefication based on BPM; beginning at a steady 60bpm tick-tock and gradually accelerating the pace to much racier realms. The effect the discordant blips and dry snare rolls causes is intoxicating and unsettling, evoking the feeling of a boulder rolling down hill, building momentum and reaching an runaway terminal velocity, at which point the snares take on a militaristic essence and the atonal electronics are straight out of the worst trip imaginable. Condensed from a one hour live performance, this piece is a vital obliteration on one of the most concrete classifiers in electronic music.
