michael mclardy & dudley strangeways: fma

Dudley Strangeways joins forces with Michael McLardy for FMA EP. Michael McLardy opens proceedings with "Separation", a minimalist techno exploration that slowly builds up by the way of mechanical rolls and undulating synths. "Another Time" is loosely strung with ascending airy synths, while metallic percussion pads keep the groove grounded. Dudley Strangeways' first offering, "Cast" is a moody slice of ambiental tech, with a slow pace aptly accentuated with piercing shrills and clangs. "Hydra" takes us into the deep end of dark techno straight from the get-go with its pounding bassline, crafted by layering minimalist yet memorable arrangement patterns.
