Atmospheric dub-influenced techno from Japan is on the menu tonight. Altone signature sound of minimalistic & hypnotic soundscapes is ever-so present - and despite repetitive mechanical elements, it still feels warm and organic. The four track EP begins with 'Silent Vibration'; a steadfast and unhindered sub harmonies. Its a meditative journey into a rough glacial terrain. 'Drifting Sand' starts off enigmatic & intriguing - with slow chord development and gradual introduction of harmonious pads. The flipside begins with 'Astral'; a dub techno groove-fest with shimmering chords and hazy soundscapes. The final track 'Uninhabited' is a mind-altering voyage into the unknown. Overall this is a must-have for any fans of Basic Channel - or our own previous releases. A dub techno delight.
