Track List
Duo Lucas Brell and Marvin Uhde deliver six fire-powered percussion tracks to Osàre! Editions.
Longtime friends and collaborators, the pair channel a liquid medley of drum menace
that flips sideways, swiftly pivoting between 85 and 170 bpm. As disorientating as it is formidable, “Purest State Confusion” offers up a fractal prism of ever-shifting beat patterns – an endlessly warping vortex, where the continuum of jungle and drum and bass fuses with a guttural, tribalist
sound.
The titular number, a wormhole techno ordeal, builds steadily, layer upon layer. A crystalline dancefloor pleaser, it subverts classic four-to-the-floor with a delayed kick drum that punctuates every 8th beat. Like black oil diffusing in water, the bass creeps in menacingly to 'The Disappearer', in hard and fast contrast with the sharp fluctuations of the amen break. Slamming in mercilessly, 'Channelling Bryn Jones' opens
up the B-side, its fluttering rhythms joining together with an infectious klaxon melody before the IDM-stylings of ‘Brain Massage' closes out.
Purest State of Confusion was recorded at various locations in Leipzig and Berlin, including at the shed-turned-studio, owned by the bass-focused record label Fast Castle. Final touches
and mixing assistance were performed by Mike Bierbach AKA rødhåd at the WSNWG studios. The pioneering techno producer inflects the record with his staunch taste for aerobic club
rhythmics, teasing out the whirling tempos and pointillistic
harmonics.

レフトフィールド・パンク精神を強く感じる。鋭く重いインダストリアルダブ、ジャングルとドラムンベースの連続体が小声のトライバリストのサウンドと融合するbpm160「Disappearer」（sample1）レフトフィールドテクノをキーワードにする方は必聴な何層にも重なる新型ワープホール・テクノbpm146「Rio d'Oro」（sample２）現場で聴くとダブ要素により聴き疲れしにくく、飽きないのも素晴らしい。フィールドレコーディング、民族打楽器など細かなこだわりを詰め込んだ変則IDM、bpm150「Purest State Confusion」（sample3）bpm80〜170の手に汗握る強力現場ウエポン６トラック。出音も良くマスタリングも素晴らしい。アートワークはJonáš Verešpej。ダンスミュージックの中に強いメッセージが詰まった傑作。リスニングにもどうぞ。 (hamon)
