TLM025: RIFT - Indigo
With remixes from Knowing Looks & T.O.W.M.F.
Following his sublime 'Bottom Breathing' EP and releases for his own Vellum imprint, Florida's Rift presents yet another collection of uniquely intricate tech-house compositions. Launching with the dub techno hypnosis of 'Surface Patterns', it's evident we're in for a deep immersion. Toronto's Knowing Looks has been gaining serious momentum with support from Magda, Richie Hawtin and other heavy hitters, and his remix affirms the well-deserved attention with its rolling undercurrent and jagged percussion. 'Indigo Part 1' is full of mystery, fusing minor key synthetics with propulsive rhythms and eerie atmospheres, while 'Indigo Part 2' sees Rift's melodic elements brought to the fore with a narrative arrangement underscored by acidic low-end tendencies and inventive sound design. Rift's collaboration with the inimitable Habersham as T.O.W.M.F. closes out the EP with a pulsating, slow-burning big room mix that demands full volume well before the bassline even drops. Night falls: watch out for the Rift...
