cosmin trg: iii

Romanian DJ and producer Cosmin TRG presents the third release on his Fizic label, taking abstract inspiration from musique concrète and J. G. Ballard's 1975 novel High Rise. "Sever" is a stripped-back bit of basement funk with scurrying alien sounds, frosted lo-fi textures, and propulsive kick drums; the forceful dub of "Redus" is riddled with abstract lifeforms and distorted radio frequencies; the synths of "Sirena" howl and spray like a UFO in a storm over a burrowing groove; and "Motoric" goes arctic with cavernous chambers of sound full of echo and reverb. Music and artwork by Cosmin Nicolae. Mastered by Matt Colton.
