Muutto

The phrase “great sound design” can trigger a fear that a record is going to be more impressive than it is moving. Not so with Bristolian-via-Berlin sometime dubstep producer (as Wedge) Adam Winchester. On this album he delves into a kind of glacier-slow (and glacier-heavy) techno-dub that hints a little at the work of The Bug and a lot at Andy Stott, but as it goes on asserts its own pitch dark identity with not only all-enveloping mind movie-conjuring subliminal sounds and elemental bass, but a very unique sense of groove, like Norse frost giants asleep under the earth but dreaming of dancing.
