Vessel's music is full of carefully constructed spaces, moments of almost-chaos where rhythm is allowed to fall apart slightly before reforming. The tracks that have emerged so far show off the same disregard for convention that’s always been one of Bristol’s defining traits, approaching from different angles but sharing that slightly anxious edge. His upcoming 12” for Left_Blank flits seamlessly between Hessle-esque percussive reductions and darkened, moody house, featuring a heavily swung, deliciously slow remix from Peverelist. It’s impressively fully formed for a debut release, atmospheric, thoughtful and retaining an ear for the dancefloor without allowing itself to be dictated by mere functionality. With the rumour of more releases to come and his name starting to appear on line-ups, it felt like the right time to find out more.
