New Zealand based label Loop Recordings Aot(ear)oa issue the debut album from Wellington-based producer Zuke.
Described as “an exploratory journey into the physicality of deep bass, with a taste for the cinematic” – ‘Come Closer‘ serves up a medley of productions composed over the past 6 years, resulting in an array of jungle, dubstep, downtempo, house, and environmental field recordings.
Our pick from the album is ‘Time’ – an undeniable centrepiece for synth heads. Here, Zuke delves into the disorienting terrain of the Minimoog, conjuring up an ambient waltz pulling listeners into an atmospheric vortex with layers of haunting synth oscillations and introspective effects.
‘Come Closer’ LP is out 6th December via Loop Recordings Aot(ear)oa. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
