Following on from his dynamic debut LP on Tectonic last year, Civilization, and an excellent contribution to this years Tectonic Plates Volume 4 in the form of *Kerplunk*, Distal returns with a solid 4 track EP that spans the full wide range of his production ability.
Taking in elements of crunk, techno, dubstep, house, footwork and hardcore, Distal flips the script upside down and inside out. ‘Ridge City’ kicks the EP off to a flying start with a barrage of relentless snare rolls that jitter in synch around a more grounded string hook - constantly raising the pressure with demented purpose as the track moves along. Next up is ‘’Drone Circle’; a unique blend of industrial, distorted drums, disorientating vocal snippets and soothing sunset pads - once again proving Distal to be master chef with a very eclectic palette! ‘106 Degrees’ switches up to a 4/4-based kick drum pattern for this sweat inducing 808 drum workout - cutting in distorted riffs and deadly sonics to bring a well measured moodiness to the EP. Closing things off is .25 Automatic’, which sees Distal drop back a gear for a slow building deep-crunk electro affair - melancholic pads and acid scribbles fill out the sonic landscape as the kick drum progressively distorts into action.
