With releases on BNR Trax, Minimal Wave s Cititrax and a regular on Zone Records, French producer and RAAR co-founder Maelstrom makes his debut on CPU with Alph4 , a seven track electro-leaning mini LP of one-take recordings. Maelstrom s sound on Alph4 is comparable to Aphex Twin s more restrained Analord output. Focussed, highly detailed production alongside an abundance of evocative synth melodies will ensure these tracks become firm favourites with forward thinking DJs and electronic music fans.
