On three original cuts Soreab marches head down into the murk with turgid bass weight and brittle snapping drum machines rendered spaciously absorbing in-the-mix. ‘Maschera’ tenderises club flesh with spiny drum machine locked a 90bpm trudge embedded in swole bass, seared with saltily distorted arps like John Carpenter’s dancehall club entrance music.
‘Trappola’ keeps the chug suppressed to a stealthy creep, foregrounding a throaty midrange lead over rolling hand drum trills up to its furtive, Giallo-esque conclusion, and ‘Speccio’ invokes a sleepwalking in a wind tunnel motion, summoning phantasmic synth apparitions at a screwed pace. Tom Jucla aka KRSLD chases chops on Estranged Records and a 2020 cut with Flowdan to emphasise the heavy pressure of ‘Maschera’, brightening the drums in the gloom and heaving to a thunderous bass kick.
