Crumbs by AOUGHT (TOUCH Samadhi)

AOUGHT, the drum & bass alter-ego of psytrance producer Kri Samadhi, here presents his collection of scenes of cyberpunk dystopia. “Soulphane” is a lurking, mournful mass of sludgy bass, mournful atmospheres, and shifting rhythms. “Break the frame” picks up with sinister minimal beats and a snarling bassline that support ice-cold pads. The title track, “Crumbs” introduces cinematic vocal and string ambience and a low end that marches endlessly forward, whereas “Saiko” detours into glitched-out paranoia and distorted 808 bass. “Files” evokes the deadly hacker drama of 1990s cyberpunk fiction, with clashing beats and spacy old-school leads. “The Great Dying” may be the album’s darkest track, with bleak droning atmospheres, lo-fi drums, and an absolutely hostile bassline. “Bad Boy” is a tribute to darkside jungle, produced on a vintage Akai S3000XL sampler to produce authentically mashed-up Amen breaks and classic pads. Finally, the album closes with Herbivore’s blistering remix of “Soulphane,” which transports the original into a murky underwater dancehall.

Beatspace has an official agreement to sell the T.O.U.C.H. Samadhi music catalogue.
