Bleep

The weird and wonderful Bjarki/Johnny Chrome Silver venture bbbbb Records serves up another selection of brain-bending Icelandic rave. Volruptus kicks off Alien Transmissions with a slice of bubbly acid techno where the 303 glides above chest-rattling kicks. ‘Jargon’ initially switches up the same basic materials of the title track into a dinky two-step before drifting into weirdo-house. ‘Gett Vffreakye’ is as bizarre as the title suggests - imagine DJ Slugo if he hailed from Mars rather than Chicago - and closer ‘Tesseract’ brings an unearthly mysticism not unlike peak Skanna together with another acid rhythm track. Even by bbbbb’s standards, this one is a proper curio.
