AUSPEX, THE ABSENT GUARD EP [TMPL001]
OUT NOW ON ALL DIGITAL PLATFORMS (link in bio)
This record and transition in sound has been a real labor of love, and in an Attention Deficit Economy, a few seconds of your time and support makes all the difference in the success of an artist or project these days. Follow artists and labels on IG, SoundCloud, etc. If you’re a really real one, buy a copy of the record, the Bandcamp link is in the bio and is the preferred platform for that, you don’t even have to be a DJ to support independent artists doing independent things. Like, share, repost—it means the world. Most folk won’t even read this, so if you made it this far, sound off below like the champion you are! 🚀🚀🚀
———-
Opener ‘Transdimensional Malaise’ layers up overloaded circuitry with bleeping synth sequences and a barrage of drums that power into the next dimension, whilst ‘Child of Infinity’ drops you into a world of circling and loopy synth motifs, menacing drums and bass and fractured vocal fragments that are the only signs of human life. ‘Emergence’ is a thudding deep techno transmission run through with pulses of synth sent from distant planets, and ‘Phantasm’ gets trippy with psychedelic colours and a mirage of shimmering keys that sound like paranoid voices deep in the back of your mind. There’s a sense of impending cosmic warfare at the dark, pounding heart of ‘Divine Synthesis’, and that tension carries on through the tightly coiled, anxious techno funk of ‘The Absent Guard’. ‘Providence’ provides a zoned-out trip to infinity with serene pads calming the mind as the drums march on with a sense of subtle hope for a brighter future.
