maceo plex: the tesseract

Maceo Plex, owner of Ellum Audio, presents The Tesseract EP. "The Tesseract" is an intriguing blend of urban soundscape and slow-burning, post-industrial drama. Held in place by a creeping arpeggiated bassline and accented throughout with sonic reflections and subtle shifts in resonance, "The Tesseract" has all the suspense of a Cold War spy thriller and the spine-tingling urgency of classic electronic body music. On "5th Dimensional Groove", Maceo and the UK duo Swayzak join forces. A trembling lead synth figure snakes in between a pulse-quickening mix of low-end sequences and minimal but forceful pneumatic percussion.
