TOTTER 013EP

"Shedding his electronic skin like a snake, FZV steps it up several gears on the latest jammy from Rag and Bone. Brutal industrial break-step, 'Assimilator' is shot through with exterminating soundsystem stabs and schizoid fills -- this is one definitely not for the faint of heart, and yet shows the natural progression of many electronica artists into a tougher, more uncompromising dancefloor-ready stance these days. Flip for a murked out remix of 'Leviathan' by Blackmass Plastics, adding more definition to the drums, slasher film washes and a killer bassed-out jump-up attitude."

"Ai imprint return with the release of Richard Herbert's first full-length endeavour under the FZV moniker. Precedent is an electronic album rooted firmly within the traditions of the Artificial Intelligence school, as perfected by Warp's early recruits Autechre, Black Dog and Aphex Twin, and the affiliated work of Bola and Gescom for the influential Skam imprint. FZV re-visits a time of electronic music construction that did not rely on laptop conceits or digital presets -- largely revolving around analog synths, effects and drum machines for the development of involving sci-fi textures built-up without pretention or conceit. With extreme attention to detail, the Ai imprint has built an impeccable reputation for visual panache and product design that has garnered it the attention of countless followers and the world press."
