12″ – Empathy Digital
Sfornata di rifacimenti a marchio Empathy Digital che coinvolge “Vegas” dei Double Negative. Partiamo subito sul nostro player con il “Flirt With Dirt Remix”, ottima trattazione drum ‘n’ bass, sognante e visionaria, che apprezziamo pur non essendo degli amanti del genere, passando poi – senza colpo ferire – a White Papoo, impenitente nel suo breaks atipico a 140 bpm, con una traccia sferzante, poetica ed altamente cinematica. Atmosfere evocative che si ritrovano in tutte le differenti versioni e che nel caso dell’Undertown Remix assumono i connotati di mescole tipicamente dubstep, oppure virate sotto il moniker Organikismness in cesure densamente dubbate ed elettroniche. Anche Mars agisce sul medesimo connubio enfasi-energia ritmica, modulando bouncy beats fratturati, eclettici e cadenzati. Opiuo, glitch master melbouregno, opera stavolta in maniera più dirittta ma fuzzy, a 129 bpm, ottimizzando un entra-ed-esci molto in voga ultimamente. Chiudiamo infine con Jonny Hooves, anche qui alle evoluzioni ambientali e delicate sono alternate poi partizioni di matrice drum ‘n’ bass, eleganti ed assai bene disciplinate pur nella veemenza degli intrecci.
