Goth-Trad - Airbreaker / Cosmos - Deep Medi Musik - 12 inch - medi-53

Goth Trad on a MAAAD one for Deep Medi!!! The label's Japanese attaché has been relatively quiet over the last year - save for the wicked 'Babylon Fall' double pack - and with his 'New Epoch' 3LP looming, we find him on frightening form here. On A-side 'Airbreaker' he's performing some kind of elaborate Dubstep bondage ritual, tweaking and tying the rhythm with knotty kick stutters and pointillist hi-hat patterns while weaving calligraphic synths and lashing the whole thing with heavy duty sub swells until you're left gasping. But that's nothing compared with the flipside 'Cosmos'. From pensive, unsuspecting intro comes a genuinely boggling rhythm, synching steppers Dubstep Bass and robotic Electro inflections like nothing we've previously heard from the scene. It's a madness, we tell ya! Strongly recommended.
