shenoda: labour

Shenoda, long-time friend of and one-time remixer for Aus Music, presents his first full-length EP on the label. Records on Electric Minds, Hypercolour, and ManMakeMusic have dependably carried forth a hefty punch. Here, he delivers four capacious jams built for a brimful floor."Labour" gets things going and typifies Shenoda's sound, which sets hats and snares scuffling over darting rave stabs. "If I Could" continues with ruthless, full-bodied drums driving mournful synth-strings nicely contrasted against sharp, metallic bass stabs. "Streak" features glacial sweeps entangled with stuttered vocals before "Sunbeam/Bloodstream" melds loose-limbed hat patterns with boiling synth lines and an intense cyclical sequence.
