zemi17: zipper

Zemi17's first release for The Bunker New York, Impressions (BK 007EP, 2014), was a landmark release for the label, a record that brought the swirling, shifting sounds of minimalist music to the dancefloor. Zipper sees him expanding his musical palette considerably, in which his gamelan-derived sound design pushes further out toward the expanses of techno's realm. While gamelan provides the foundation for the EP's sound design, Zipper is definitely a techno record -- the rollicking electro rhythms of "Trickles in the Dark" and the hypnotic, dark mood of "An Army of Crickets," for instance, will set dancefloors alight.
