Part of the
Funckarma outfit Roel has been involved in many different kinda projects over the last ten years. He has produced techno, electro, IDM, Hip Hop and dubstep (just to name a few). It seems like it was time to stand on his own after being working along with his brother Don.
The record feels familiar, I recognize sounds, layers, structures from the past but in a way it feels also really fresh because I hear much more space between the notes. Ruffly I'm dividing the record into three zones. The more IDM-ish tracks which are as I mentioned before much more open then the recent Funckarma stuff which felt often to heavy to complex to demanding also. Like the opener
Gallice and the very beautiful spacy
Vertox Dreaming. Other tracks are more contemporary, heavy on the bass, dubstep-ish. These are dense. Listening to
Fiction Stub makes you aware of the Big City again, subways, sirens, grains. The pulsing and pounding fundamentals are dominant.
Koortshond is purple with an orange banner. Subtlety with a barking pitbull aside. The third zone is the inbetweens, constructed from both areas often adrift so it seems like in the
Cobaned Banner you'll find your self confused, WTF was this...But then you listen to
Ledge which is also inbetween but so much more controlled, a pure listening experience.
Skarm Sfiais is pure discomfort, dirty voices, high pitched needles, metal flakes. Slowly it shifts into and Predetor kinda nightmare, pure madness. All in all it's a listening experience from a 'new' producer.
