Bristol-based Common Ancestors Records present ‘Shore‘, the latest digital release from New Zealand-born, now Copenhagen-based sound and video artist Fred Small, working under his production alias raptAGOG.
Known for self-releasing club-focused tracks and developing immersive sound design installations at The Audio Foundation in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, raptAGOG delivers four mind-bending cuts that transport us into a “space where the land meets the water”. Tapping into interplanetary frequencies – oscillating between dubbed-out hypnosis and liquid trance.
Our pick, Estuary, draws listeners into a 134 BPM submersion of space-delayed echoes and staccato rhythmic frameworks, while Small’s spectral tones flicker like rogue transmissions on the edge of perception.
‘Shore’ is out now via Common Ancestors Records. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
