LIN 078EP
|
In pursuit of hardcore techno ballistics and mutant metal alloys, The I Is Nothing marks five years of Samuel Kerridge releases on Regis' Downwards. Serpentine stinger "Silent Notes" is a roiling combo of EBM drums and divebombing Reese bass, while "Fascination Sustain" strips down to a scudding sort of electro-techno IDM pressure recalling Oberman Knocks or Bitstream's Adapta gear. Isis frontman Aaron Turner infects "Propagates Of Desire" with masochistic lyrics buried deep in Kerridge's matrix of recoiling EBM kicks and Stuka synth drones, then "Actuality Repeats" stretches out in a hollowed sphere of 150bpm electro and spectral gloom.

LIN 076EP
|
Sam Kerridge launches a major rethink of his style with high-velocity tempos and a razor-toothed bite. Toiling somewhere between Ueno Masaaki's Vortices (R-N 117EP, 2014), the pitching pelt of La Peste for Hangars Liquides, and the machine convulsions of Somatic Responses, he goes balls-to-the-wall with the breakneck momentum of "Possession/Control", harnessing reverse-edited kicks, helter-skelter EBM bass, and spectrographic noise. Knotty, strobing pulses keen through empty stomach inversions and bursts of tangled EBM synths on "Ascension", whilst "Radical Possibilities Of Pleasure" sounds like a field recording from a French hardtek invaded by dildo dibble in choppers.
