FIGURE 099EP
|
Setaoc Mass's fourth record for Figure displays a level of maturity an artist this young rarely inhabits. Two tracks feature his ability to craft finely layered IDM, showing another perspective of the ideas behind the cavernous techno taking up the rest of this EP. Nestled between the electronica-pieces is "Torque", heavy yet undeniably beautiful with its big breaks towards ascension. "Always Falling, Never Declining" is a slowly swelling beast with many heads. Spiraling inwards, "Search Lights" is that key track to drop in the murkiest, darkest hour of the night.

FIGURE 078EP
|
Setaoc Mass delivers Cipher, an EP of finely tuned and highly diversified techno deep space explorations. The melody of "Cipher" twists while airy breakbeats faintly hint at the producer's UK roots. "Lost Lakes" sticks to a metronomic stomp, making for a simple yet utterly effective tool. Choral howls and detuned synths merge on "Transform" for a gentle yet trance-inducing track. "Rain" sees Setaoc Mass recreate a thundering storm, complete with flashing strokes of lightning and a downpour of celestial scale. The breakbeat returns on "Flying Buttress" and explores the common ground between futuristic grime and techno.
