the 10th modal analysis release is the second full ep of the label’s co-founder, anfs. mass ep demonstrates anfs unique sound aesthetics, offering tracks to satisfy the most demanding music-heads. mass#1 is a sadistic composition of distorted percussions and basslines hitting hard in a slow rhythmic groove , while mass#2 stands closer to the dancefloor thinking norms, without though leaving behind any of the creepiness of mass#1. on the flip side, mass#3 brings back the mood of a horror movie soundtrack, with bleepy riffs on the leading sequence. finally, mass#4 is another rhythmic industrial composition, which connects mass ep with the traditional eastern influences that can be found on anfs debut release, ground ep

following up on his exceptional 12″,,,, debut numb (figure 73) earlier this year, seatoc mass delivers another ep of finely tuned and highly diversified techno deep space explorations. starting on an atmospheric note, cipher’s intricate melody winchingly twists its way under your skin while airy breakbeats faintly hint at the producer’s uk roots. in contrasting fashion the bleep- driven lost lakes sticks to its metronomic stomp, making for a simple yet utterly effective tool. choral howls and detuned synths merge on transform for a gentle yet trance-inducing introduction to the flipside. emotive highlight rain then sees the manchester producer sonically recreate a thundering storm, complete with flashing strokes of lightning and a downpour of celestial scale. the breakbeat returns on closer flying buttress, albeit now at much faster tempo, exploring the common ground between futuristic grime and techno. blending all these different styles and their distinctive tropes in a coherent statement is a feat not easily accomplished. yet here seatoc mass pulls it off again, developing further the confines of both his personal and the label’s sound.
