South African imprint Kulture Lab mark five years in the game by enlisting Dutch production duo Stellar Wave for their next transmission.
‘NEA‘ takes its name from a Near-Earth Asteroid – a nod to momentum, space and impact. Over the course of four tracks, Stellar Wave trace unstable orbits through disassembled breaks and molecular percussive scatter, feeling like a séance conducted via spaced-out oscillators and fragmented pulse systems.
Our pick ‘Pepper X’, spirals out as the most untamed track. It begins like an intercepted free jazz signal bleeding through the fabric of a bent dimension, before surrendering to a dense weave of kinetic polyrhythms, clangorous collisions and woozy synthetic vapors.
‘NEA‘ is scheduled for release 1st July via Kulture Lab. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
