Djrum signs to Houndstooth
Djrum's career has blossomed in recent times, in no small part thanks to his mind-mangling and frequently thrill-a-minute DJ sets. - Just check out Djrum's set for fabric in the deepest darkest-depth of COVID --- Spinning 3 decks LIVE in one take within the confinds of the incredible Tower Bridge, London.
Unusually given his prolific work-rate earlier in his career, the much-admired producer has not released much new music of late; in fact, extended EP marks his first 100% fresh release for six years.
It's predictably impressive, with highlights including the twisted TB-303 trickery, bombastic sub-bass and polyrhythmic post-dubstep UK bass beats of 'Codex', the high-octane modular techno insanity of 'Crawl', the spaced-out and dubbed-out, Autechre-ish IDM weirdness of 'Frekm (Part 1)', and the deconstructed breakbeats, psychoactive electronics and metallic effects of 'Frekm (Part 2)'.
