Joe Baker aka Forest Drive West returns to the Zenker brothers Ilian Tape label with Masking, following 2022’s Creeper EP. Opening with the deep, submerged bubbling dubwise transmission of the title cut with T-Flex, then into the pulsating hypnotic techno of ‘Ziggurat’. He switches gear into D&B mode on the flipside with the brooding darkside tech-step of ‘Ruins’ and the frenetic, fizzing half-time of ‘Möbius’. Ace as always!
