NU-1000 by Galaxian X Stingray313

An Atlantic crossover brings together Detroit’s Stingray313 and Glasgow’s Galaxian for a very special 12”. More collaboration than split, the EP sees each artist fly solo as well as combining their admirable analogue abilities. Pressures are high from the outset, Galaxian twists and teases patterns in the reverbing reverence of “Storm Coming.” BPMs surge as the two merge for the cold “NU-1000.” Lilting notes ghost between rasping rhythms. And it is around such racing drums that warmth flows, as in the meandering softness of “Graphene.” Beats don’t abate as Stingray takes the helm for the blistering bass of “Dopant.”  The duo cap some of the more ferocious elements at they don lab coats for “CaCiSi4010.” Tones are measured, friction accelerated as molecules are bombarded and fired. “Totally Controlled” allows the tempo to drop, but just a smidgen, for heavily vocoded samples and faint notes lower the lights.

Electronic music label from the Netherlands, founded in 2010 by Ferdi Maks aka DJ Shipwrec.
