British producer Patrick Tipler spent his formative years immersed in psychedelia as a bassist and guitarist in various bands and groups. The arrival of synthesizers -- along with his move to Bristol -- radically changed his vision of sound and impacted on his musical direction with the force of an asteroid. This shockwave subsequently saw the birth of Delay Grounds. After releasing the outstanding Onomatopoeia [Pressure Dome, 2020] and Upcycling [Tropopause, 2021], Delay Grounds' output has made it clear for all to see that Tipler's sound design skills are second to none, and with just two releases to his name he has already transformed himself into an artist to watch very closely. Today, Patrick joins the Lapsus crew to present Genus, a five-track EP that he says "is my most personal release to date, something I've always carried inside and wanted to produce, but had never managed to articulate before." On Genus, Delay Grounds preserves the essence of his sound but takes things a step further, with a form of maximalist electronica, sprouting powerful torrents of high-pitched and ruff-as-rock avant-techno, glitches and mutant sound elements, combined with sweet and delicate melodies in the purest IDM style. Polishing is provided by sound engineer Nick Earle, with whom Patrick has recorded and remarkably treated a kit of "deconstructed drums" especially for the occasion. Genus is 30 minutes of astral travelling, an experience perhaps analogous to what we would feel if we opened a vault, containing music from a lost civilization. Marbled snowy white vinyl.
