DgoHn

Alterations In Gyral Form

Label: WeMe

Genre: Highlights, Electronic, Techno

Audiopile Review: Second full length from UK producer dgoHn, which follows up on his slept-on 2020 album Undesignated Proximate. Lack of attention hasn’t slowed his pace as he’s been steadily releasing 12”s and EPs for reputable outlets like Analogical Force, Astrophonica and Love Love, who have clearly heard something special in his detailed and kinetic output. Continuing to work within the confines of drum ’n bass and breaks, dgoHn further hones his style while dialling up the atmosphere with warm swathes of ambient, snippets of smeary vocals and twinkling tones, taking the edge off his frenetic breakbeat onslaught. It actually brings to mind the intense end of Skee Mask and his ability to bring the breakneck BPMs under heel with full ambient immersion, though this should also appeal to fans of Photek’s Modus Operandi, the pinpoint precision of Druqks or Blank Mind’s recent breakbeat comp, Lost Paradise: Blissed Out Breakbeat Hardcore 1991-94. One for the BPM heads!

UK drum and bass don dgoHn makes his debut on WeMe Records with a new LP of expertly-crafted beat science entitled Alterations in Gyral Form. dgoHn is in rare form here, combining low-end knocking retro-futuristic bangers with spacier, palette-cleansing (and channel-surfing) interstitial ambience to keep listeners on their proverbial toes. dgoHn also slyly subverts the somewhat self-serious nature of the junglist mindset here, and you can peep track titles like the heavenward hip-hop of ‘A Total Disregard For Whatever It Is You Think’ or the sparse dial-up jazz of ‘Cheek Biting’ for proof of concept.
