peder mannerfelt: the 3d printed songbook

Peder Mannerfelt, one of techno's most prominent prism pushers, follows work on Fever Ray's Plunge album (2017) to open 2018 with The 3D Printed Songbook, dispatched through his Stockholm-based personal imprint. Mannerfelt pursues a signature blend of raved-up smarts with cutting-edge sound design on The 3D Printed Songbook. Mannerfelt gets into gear with a pendulous but stuttering, sleek and jagged deep house/dancehall curl to open, before circling through recoiling slow techno, heavy-lidded yet visceral ambient tones, to stripes of Viking acid jack and the kind of depth charge dub techno that keeps Mika Vainio's memory in earshot.
