l.b. dub corp: roar

Stroboscopic Artefacts is releasing its latest addition to its Totem series, L.B. Dub Corp's Roar. Luke Slater's L.B. Dub Corp moniker seen him be a pioneer throughout the genre's many corners since techno was a newborn phenomenon. Roar injects a carefully measured dose of dance floor adrenaline, getting a gradual rolling start with the title track, a kind of minimal rapture that's enveloped by an unforeseeable boiling of tape delay and ambient space. "Hard Wax" is a hardnosed amalgamation of dirty analog sounds, while "Step Sure Dub" keeps the machine minimalism rolling.
