A1. Monoloc - Another Thing [HFT045] (Preview) by Hotflush

Monoloc makes his debut on Hotflush recordings, the label’s first release of 2016. Following a recent single on Innervisions and an appearance on Life & Death, his latest offering ‘Another Thing’ marks a departure into more atmospheric soundscapes. The murky grandeur of the title track lends itself to moody textures that build in narrative, walking a knife-edge between industrial techno and minimalist dub. ‘TrySome’ conjures the setting of a dilapidated warehouse rave at 5am, while ‘Makeless’, with its low-slung percussive elements draped over misty pads and imposing bass, draws the listener further into Monoloc’s wormhole.
