sharif laffrey can charm the snake out of any basket. this is his first offering for the esp institute. side as tangier is a long drawn-out exercise. an endurance test of the highest order. over the span of some thirteen minutes. elements bob and weave intermittently and layers overlap haphazardly the type of exciting dynamic that s born out of restrictio as if putting down a live jam without enough hands to work the console. yet sharif perseveres. as touch and go as this arrangement may be. there is something that undoubtedly glues it all in place the combination of his massive rolling 16th-note bassline and his tough-as-nails drumkit is so good that. upon first listen. we spat out our tea and insisted on its release. on side b. everything is nice carries on with loose arrangement. dirty production and layers of inexplicable spoken word samples (a sharif calling card by now) but this time we re lead to a melancholy place. the blue comedown to side as antagonistic trial. with his esp institute debut. sharif leaves you mentally unhinged. as if youve smoked something interesting and arrived bewildered in some saharan labyrinth. these two songs will guide you through the medina to score the black meat.

incl. downloadcode ... unnatural. uneasy. unexpected. the great filter keeps you on your toes constantly. it makes your fingers tingle with anticipation and the hairs on your arms stand up from the tension. it is eerily calm and controlled. while it takes you to faraway places in the twilight. that dont actually exist. subdued. bright yellow light with no sun in sight. wide plains with an inherent structure that can only be illogical. unorganic sounds. alien voices. excited synths and sobering organs. reality is so mundane. the way we are now expecting it from krink. he does what is unexpected and stretches conventions somewhere around techno and deep house. the music is driven by imagery rather than song structure. the ep puts cutting rhythms over comfort and sound over beauty. like a focused dream. it is concrete and abstract. lets get found in the universe
