Gatekeeper
Hades / Tomb VIP
Immerse Records (UK), IME012
Immerse cuts a unique groove these days, releasing original, leftfield
music, often dark and uplifting simultaneously. This new Gatekeeper plate
falls on the darker side of the fence, but that’s no bad thing. ‘Hades’ is
a moody skulker – triangles, pads and trickling sound FX giving way to a
thumping bass’n’drum workout, dotted with delayed beeps and cutup shouted
warnings. Flipside, the Keeper’s original Skull Disco collab ‘Tomb’ gets a
rework, the insistent midrange line slotted into a rock-hard selection of
militant breaks, subterranean bass and dystopian mechanical noise.
9/10 [recommended]
