A moody, dubwise, to-the-barricades brew of jungle, rave, dubstep, and techno.
Over the five cuts, an opening, evocative, littoral play between discombobulation and mysticism gives way to mounting abrasiveness, before fetching up in the inner chambers of the temple room, echoing and spooky, with acoustic percussion.
Aka Jan Katsma of Bunker associates Syncom Data, stepping out with his first full solo release in three years. Six feverish, dubwise synth excursions, rumbling with restrained power; with passages as body-rocking as recent Katsma/SD contributions to mixtapes by Dettmann and Stingray, but always verging on acid disintegration.
A mixtape by DJ OD from Paris, messing around with live recordings copped off friends like Mike Cooper, Jay Glass Dubs, Don’t DJ and Rabih Beaini. Snazzy red tapes in white cases.
Belting space-techno steppers.
‘A whole new level of weird,’ according to Warp’s sales notes: ‘Lopatin describes Garden Of Delete as a ‘self- portrait’... Musically the album contains a plethora of ideas spliced together seamlessly: great rushes of death metal and distorted R&B pop vocals, for example, all woven together with typically OPN broken chord synths and sleek sound design.’
