LIN 072EP
|
Simon Shreeve, the gifted producer behind Mønic and Kryptic Minds, offers four tracks of stare-down half-step techno with Lust Product EP. The rugged manifest in the cement mixer churn and deathly groan of "System Living" leads to the Fishermen-esque, slow techno-meets D&B-on-33 grind in "Silver Sun". But when he steps aside from the 'floor into more esoteric headspaces and themes, he really proves himself a master of cinematic tension, recalling the most funereal rituals of Cut Hands in "Lust Product" and the sweeping low register string arrangement , quasi-speed doom dub zones of Raime in "External Laws".

LIN 070EP
|
Healing Bowl forms Simon Shreeve's debut release under his birth name after his work as part of Kryptic Minds and his techno-leaning solo output as Mønic. Five pensile, nerve-pinched pieces defined by finely sculpted bass, shivering percussion, and cranky concrète processing. "a/sa" sets a crypt-like tone and spatial setting that bleeds thru into the title-cut before "a thousand and one" locates and locks into a dank pocket of plasmic bass and spectral vocal recital. "sharada" follows with a ghostlier pallor before the elusive, entropic sound design of "s/ka" seems to invert techno and D&B dynamics with vampiric lust and romance.
