Terminus EP

by Forest Drive West

Markus (haarek) Forrest drive west pulls up the tempo on his dubbed out techno on this banger of an ep. Manic percussion and soothing dub makes for a frighteningly solid compo on this one. Favorite track: Impulse.

Origami Bulldoser hurr durrr go listen to your no u-turn vinyl collection from 98-99 and make sure you bring tissue, old head

impulse seems like a remake of Annoko on Rupture to me, so that's kind of just alright but the rest of this is very captivating

about

Forest Drive West AKA Joe Baker joins R&S for a stunning EP of contemporary breakbeat science.

Building his reputation with a series of epochal releases including his debut LP ‘Apparitions’ on Livity Sound and a series of seismic EPs for Whites, Echochord and Delsin Baker effortlessly combines bass heavy techno classicism with a mastery of breakneck rhythmic complexity.

For his R&S debut, Baker pushes his sound further into the darker recesses of D&B, flexing drum production that hypnotises and beguiles, delivering stripped grooves shot through with dissonant pads, swollen feedback and mordant bass that manages to pull off the difficult trick of injecting a lysergic modernist feel into the junglist template.

Parallels can be drawn with Lee Gamble’s deconstructed breakbeat meditations or the dark moods of Demdike Stare - however Baker’s uniquely austere and classicist take is all his own and a perfect fit for the modern R&S canon of dark dance floor experimentation.

All the tracks are great but Stepper is the standout for me! pounding syncopated kicks, rolling handdrums and playful sample work, dancefloor destroyer. Jack G.
