BLOCKDATA
VACUUM DECAY (OHM RESISTANCE)
Scotland's Gav Hislop has long been on electronic music's radar, with performances and releases as Babyshaker.
A superior professional sound designer, he has shifted gears to a expert display of controlled demolition in drum n bass & beyond under the name Blockdata.
Releasing on Triple G Recordings, Sonicterror, and Abstrakt Reflections previously, this is the first solo vinyl release of the project.
Scientific precision sound design and creatively rolling rhythms construct the EP. Tertiary, Exas, and Control Pattern all steer clearly onto the drum n bass dancefloor, with hyperactive synthesizer work and intricate change-ups framing each piece.
The EP ending Siren is the jewel of the EP, a 100 BPM piece of melancholia that stays in the memory, as long as its own extended midranges stretch to the furthest reaches of infinity.
