renick bell: empty lake

The angular, abstract funk of Renick Bell's Empty Lake EP is perhaps exactly what you might expect from a pioneer of algoraves - a forward-looking union of live coding and rave music. With Empty Lake EP, Bell skillfully teases out a tangle of post techno pulses, shards of catty ballroom house, hardcore kuduro and footwork patterns. From the recoiling swang of "Trying To Control The Four Winds" to the Patten-like melt of "The Well" and the fluctuating states of "Surface Waters Flow Together", there's a level of detail here that will baffle your sense of meter and tone.
