etch: altered roads vol 2

Opening with the spacious and weightless drum choppage of "Lost Orbit VIP" looking back to BBC Radiophonic-era synth work. "Phenomena" is a different beast altogether, stripped back to the bare minimum of a claustrophobic sub bass, off-kilter Loefah-meets-J Dilla beat, and the monotonous groan of an unknown entity. "Beggars Belief" is a distant cousin of Etch's 2015 release on Wisdom Teeth "Toxin" (WSDM 003EP), with grimey basslines, swung beats, broken glass, and gushes of warm synth. For "Paging Dr.Octagon", Etch chops up old school breaks in the hardest way possible over looped synths and samples from the Mo Wax classic.
