Dicicco, Tom: Under The Aquadrome (Pt. 1&2) Dark, brooding, cold, and hard-hitting industrial techno from Northampton-based Tom Diccco. I suppose the cold English winters and post-industrial factories of the Midlands are a source of inspiration for Tom, because this is some of the bleakest techno I've heard in a while. And that's totally meant as a compliment, because I admire Tom's work and there's a lot of quality here. The most dance-y tracks are the odd-numbered ones (#1,3,5,7) ("Return to Dust", "Werk", "Physical" and "Excavation"). All of those 4 are bangin'. "Grainy Days" and "Merk" (#6, #8) are dark & brooding on the industrial side. 1. Brutal Techno, hard driving, noisy, mechanical, percussive. The way it should be. Awesome start. 2. A dark swirly atmosphere w/ a twisted little synth melody that jabs at you. 3. Bouncy & percussive tech-house. Greatly enhanced with acidic chirps that literally sound bird-like. The beats are punishing towards the end. Love this track. 4. Ambient track. Dark & spooky, heavy layers of synths. 5. Tom comes out hard in this track. Fast pumping beats, all sorts of mechanical sounds layered percussively. Solid & energetic techno. 6. Like a cold & miserable English winter freezing rain turned into a minimal techno trac. Brooding and bleak over slow deep beat. 7. Speaker-bursting beats, w/ bouncy electro effects. I like the claps as a rapid-fire tempo change. 8. It's no coincidence that this track is pronounced "Murk", it's moody, murky, dark, and gloomy. A lot of dark and dank ambient textures. | ||
