UNVEIL ISSUE TWO
(CLEAR BLUE VINYL)
Coloured 12 Inch
Four stalwarts of the Auxiliary camp combine for the second issue of Veil Unveil, with impressively eclectic results. Pressing on transparent, light blue coloured & marbled vinyl.
Sam KDC – Ascetic – Sam KDC kicks off proceedings with a thumping, darkly roots-inspired track, a true understated dancefloor hitter sure to punish the senses. Heavy-hitting kicks & sub bass drive the message home. Punishing.
ASC – Symmetry – Slowing down the pace a little from the opening barrage, ASC delivers a smooth, deliciously intense track with crunchy analogue samples jostling with xylo melodies and wondrous atmospheric synths & vocals in ASC’s trademark, inimitably polished style.
Synth Sense – Trapped Within The Circuit – Vinyl crackles introduce this densely-configured exploration of raw scrapyard drum & bass. Tense and unrelenting with a tapestry of industry cavorting in the backdrops, Synth Sense show themselves to be a true bastion of moody leftfield music.
Method One – Under The Same Stars – Closing this issue, Method One serves up his own dreamy take on 80’s sci-fi in typical style with cowbells and space voice comms expertly woven around digital basslines and keys. Lovely.[info from st]
