Intramuros by J Velez

" Professor Genius, Jorge Velez, on a driving, discordant techno flex for Skudge White. Landing a year since Velez's 'Territories' explorations with L.I.E.S., this one deals in ruggedly functional club gear with a bittersweet, nasty edge, jacking jagged patterns between the head-spinning carousel of 'Les Méandres' to the noise-soused and droning missile of 'Blue Bottle', before unleashing the spiked and fuzzy peach of 'Tunnel' and a pitching EBM mutation, 'Hydrocution' reminding us of Not Waving at his heaviest." -- BOOMKAT

"Velez, under a variety of guises, has turned his hand to Italo disco, drone, ambient and, of course, the rugged analogue house he's best known for, but nothing this intense. Intramuros is quite a leap, but it's one that Velez makes with ease, as if he's been doing this stuff forever. " -- RESIDENT ADVISOR

"From the lo-fi techno of his MMT Tape Series to his synth explorations as Professor Genius, New York's Jorge Velez draws on many generations of dance music." - Resident Advisor
