ALTRD 002EP
|
Opening with the spacious and weightless drum choppage of "Lost Orbit VIP" looking back to BBC Radiophonic-era synth work. "Phenomena" is a different beast altogether, stripped back to the bare minimum of a claustrophobic sub bass, off-kilter Loefah-meets-J Dilla beat, and the monotonous groan of an unknown entity. "Beggars Belief" is a distant cousin of Etch's 2015 release on Wisdom Teeth "Toxin" (WSDM 003EP), with grimey basslines, swung beats, broken glass, and gushes of warm synth. For "Paging Dr.Octagon", Etch chops up old school breaks in the hardest way possible over looped synths and samples from the Mo Wax classic.

ALTRD 001EP
|
Etch presents the inaugural release on new label Altered Roads. The label is set to focus purely on Etch productions. Altered Roads Vol. 1 features four tracks ranging from the psychedelic weightless ambient soundscape of "When The Soul Departs", hazy vintage kung-fu film sampling "Lore Of Samurai", the crushingly powerful break laden homage to the defunct BLOC Festival "Flamingo Grove", and ending on futuristic Warp-driven hip-hop "Defunkt Logic". The scope of these four tracks, disregard for the confines of dancefloor function sets the tone for what is to come on this label.
