DRAGGED-SHED IMPRESSIONS by V/A

Second EP of the label Lowlife Cartel is an all star, six-track release from six artists in various genres, from cutting edge techno to leftfield house, confirming the versatility of the Lowlife Cartel. The EP begins with "Butt Dub Pregost", dubby downtempo atmospheric track, by one of most innovative and versatile artist of the last years: Buttechno (Rassvet records, Collapsing Market..). "Out For A Walk" by Fmy (Too Rough 4 Radio) is a leftfield house track, face covered and steps muffled through a deadening blizzard of tape saturation and white noisey envelops that find a balance between deepening the sense of immersion and a retained rhythm. "Unusual Mondai", hypnotic track by Sammy T Thompson, an alias of S.Olbricht (UIQ, Opal Tapes..), fits with an introspective melody and atmosphere. "Mr Hodge Appreciation Society" is a quintessential Machine Woman (Ninja Tune, Peder Mannerfelt, Where to Now?) club track, spanning sexy house and bold techno. "Celestial Body" by PRESENTE oscillates between jungle and drone like a futuristic comet. "Y'alll" by the rising producer Voyd, is a abstract house piece. Setting skittish drums and altered vox sample, smothered against a grey-ish canvas of blurry, washed-out pads. Raw and indisputable quality of production.
