code walk: distance

Adventurous, abstract, and deeply up-for-it rave music from Code Walk, a young Danish duo picked up for Peder Mannerfelt Produktion's first release of 2019 with Distance. They're most thrilling when they go fast, far-out, and near-weightless, as with the mercurial flow of opener "Distance", and with the scudding ghetto-tech bounce of "Red", and their smudged power ambient ace, "The Same As Me". The other tracks are perhaps more conventionally 'floor-focused, from the flinty breakbeat and noise jag of "Touch", to the soggy bass drum march and sci-fi synth strokes of "Streak", and the squared-off, cranky, Surgeon-esque buck of "Monitor".
