Bleep

Anastasia Vtorova aka Machine Woman comes off the back of her For Sweden EP on Peder Mannerfelt’s self-titled imprint with a debut outing on the ever boundary-pushing Where To Now? stable. The release opens up with the stripped bare, hypnotics of ‘I Can Mend Your Broken Heart’, wrestling between the whispered, seductive vocals and shuffling, mechanical percussion in a classic fusion of man & machine, whereas ‘Friday Night’ boasts a grittier take on the tripped-out, snake charmer aesthetic – perfect for those after-hours deviancies. Finally, Workshop alumni Kassem Mosse parades his visionary remix talents with his reinterpretation of ‘I Can Mend Your Broken Heart’ – switching up the mechanical groove of the original for a more humanist, warm dub-chug that really exposes the piece’s hidden sultry spirit.
