Taking in elements of crunk, techno, dubstep, house, footwork and hardcore, Distal flips the script upside down and inside out. ‘Ridge City’ kicks the EP off to a flying start with a barrage of relentless snare rolls that jitter in synch around a more grounded string hook - constantly raising the pressure with demented purpose as the track moves along. Next up is ‘’Drone Circle’; a unique blend of industrial, distorted drums, disorientating vocal snippets and soothing sunset pads - once again proving Distal to be master chef with a very eclectic palette! ‘106 Degrees’ switches up to a 4/4-based kick drum pattern for this sweat inducing 808 drum workout - cutting in distorted riffs and deadly sonics to bring a well measured moodiness to the EP. Closing things off is .25 Automatic’, which sees Distal drop back a gear for a slow building deep-crunk electro affair - melancholic pads and acid scribbles fill out the sonic landscape as the kick drum progressively distorts into action.[info from wa]
