TIMEDANCE 007EP
|
Timedance concludes 2016 with the up-and-coming London based producer Laksa. "Contrasts" has been in high demand with DJs. A chugging b-boy kick pattern rolls along with crashing hi-hats and claps, before delicate, ghostly synths are faded into picture. A refreshingly unique peak--time dancefloor track. "Lost Code" utilizes low-slung house drums, with muted, cloudy melodies floating above. "Buried" takes things even deeper - delayed, textured percussion, is coupled with murky pads and a deep, suffocating bassline geared for the late night zoners.

MISTY 007EP
|
Laksa marks his second appearance on Beneath's Mistry label with two parts of properly assertive, bass bin-troubling mongrel business, circa 120bpm. Laksa nails the label aesthetic with insistent torque and no concession to niceties. "66 Rebels" staggers across the A-side, drunken master style, whipping the subs into a mucky frenzy under de-glazed, worn-down drums and stinging bleeps that bite in all the right places. From the rim, "Ctrl Delete" is a headlong trip into cavernous dread dance music swarmed by chromatic ghost voices and shocked into action by a massive, reverberating synth lead.

MISTY 004EP
|
Dreader UK pressure from Bristol via London on PAN affiliate Beneath's Mistry label. The label's fourth drop -- Laksa's first -- opens with "Draw for The," all sloshing subs and roiling drums in cold, brittle echo-chamber style. "Baded" drops the tempo a bit but simultaneously brings up the temperature, finding a woozy sub-tropical swagger in its hard surfaces and synthetic bird calls, while "Touchdown" forges a killer bleep-techno mutation hinging on roving subs synched with sub-aquatic cowbells and body-scanning pads to counter the EP's icier aspects. Early support from Ben UFO, Pearson Sound, Bill Kouligas, Lee Gamble, and Zenker Brothers.
