joefarr: spectate

On the heels of 2015's hyperactive Longanimity EP and Sense of Purpose JoeFarr returns with Spectate EP, another tactile and punishing contribution to the ongoing Gridlock series complete with an incredible remix from sound scientist Max Cooper. Farr throws down heavy drum grooves on title track "Spectate," with hi-hats and synth zaps creating malevolent movement around a blurry vocal sample. Max Cooper explodes the track on his remix, offering increasingly distorted sections that lure in the listener before shattering the structure. "Comp Killer" and "In Focus" are two slices of deliciously raw techno, featuring shuddering bass and searing melodies.
