Description
Rush Hour Store Record of the week W19:
It’s been exactly three years since Ilian Tape first released Skee Mask’s hugely influential ’Compro’, an album that’s now widely considered as one of the most important works in post-modern IDM and contemporary breakbeat techno.
In the three years that followed the German producer whose real name is Bryan Müller released only four EP’s (three of which were part of the Ilian Skee Series using a more ambient-focused approach), so this surprise album is a welcome one.
On his third album for the Zenker Brothers’ imprint Müller wastes no time in diving off the deep end, trading in the liquid drum ‘n’ bass and breakbeat influences of ‘Compro’ for a more aquatic sound on the first few sides with the fast-paced electro bubbler ‘Nvivo’, the acidic ‘Stone Cold 369’ and the deep and dubby ‘Rdvnedub’.
From there on anything goes on this exceptionally well-produced triple album: Müller successfully tries his hand at hypnotic house on ‘CZ3000 Dub’, effortlessly drags nineties UK breakbeat into the 21st century on ‘Collapse Casual’ and its spectacular counterpart ‘Breathing Method’ and spaces out completely on ‘Ozone’ and ‘Rio Dub’. It’s all done with a midas touch, for everything this man touches turns to gold (RO).
