Purple color vinyl. Like a crusader, Apollo Noir relentlessly pursues his noble cause: pushing modular and analog experimentation ever further while remaining irresistibly accessible. Here is Core, his fourth studio album, fusing post rave techno Detroit à la Drexciya and Manchester early Autechre, OPN's most epic era, futuristic UK jungle, letfield amen-breaked ambient, a mega massive cadavre exquis song featuring Remi Sauzedde's very close friends (Janis, Ley, Claude Violante, Silly Boy Blue, S Diamah, Serguei Spoutnik and Fly HQ), diving deeper -- as a true obsessive lover of drum machines (TR909, TR808 and TR606) -- in the raw deconstruction of techno rhythms, unleashing a dark and heavy bassline at 145 bpm with grime vocal samples, heavy modular beats blending perfectly with soft and voicy Korg M1 pads. Apollo Noir knows his classics and contemporaries inside out, forging his own path with deranged yet beautiful twists. For electronic music freaks lovers of early '90s-'00s Warp, Hyperdub, R&S, to post genre-defying aficionados of the Gen Z.
