emerging nyc label lost soul enterprises present hidden city, their third 12 inch release and first single-artist ep. these four tracks by brooklyn native j slusher, made in collaboration with his fellow artists in the boroughs thriving experimental techno scene, are dark, menacing excursions into after hours territory. his previous work as a noise artist under various monikers (opponents, privilege, unstable systems) informs a uniquely uncompromising take on club music. slusher takes a stripped-down, industrial approach to percussion and populates it with otherworldly vocal snippets and growling synths. the result is hypnotic, evoking the severe moods and disused spaces so vital to the secret nightlife of the city.
