Description

Taut drum science and steely atmospheres are the order of the day as Terrain deliver
a moody, stripped-back four-track EP for Livity Sound. The partnership of Forest Drive
West and Voytek has so far yielded sharply-focused releases for Delsin’s ManYs series

and Vargmal, finding the synergy between lean, intricate drum & bass and heads-
down, experimental techno.

On ‘Barossa Dub’, the pair pitch down to a half-Yme, dancehall-angled groove to

propel a heavily-dubbed soundscape and system-ready bass. ‘Nica’ maintains the low-
slung swagger while steadily ratcheYng up the dread. On the flip, ‘Scaeer’ winds the

pressure back up with a punchy broken techno workout that teeters on the edge of
breakbeat. ‘Hive’ opts for a brooding, purring techno meditaYon that thrives on slow
release and intricately cramed sound design, capping off a diverse trip through
austere club modernism.
