Omikron

Initial disappointment; eventual appreciation.

The artist is named Zaphyd and the track is named You. Lovely tune; less deliberately 'damaged' sounding here.

Just from the track names I can already tell this is going to be top quality material

Oops, I didn't think of looking outside of this subforum! Anyway, if Deuce is a prelude to next week's release, then it'll probably be more old stuff, and I'm liking what I'm hearing so far.

Those clips are insane. Vibert is on another level now. Finally something to look forward to this year.

There's definitely a pre-made kick added in a randomised pattern, in time with when the bursts of audio are triggered, giving it a consistent rhythm. At least, that's how it was while I was tuned in. I was listening for about an hour yesterday (while doing other things) and at some point the kick suddenly changed into a more 808 style one, and that was the only noticeable change of the whole thing.

Every now and then, a genuinely good beat emerges from the chaos, only to disintegrate again

I'm worried that he might have stopped working on new music due to other commitments. I've been loving the old stuff that he's been unearthing lately, but I don't think he's put out anything new in the last six years. That being said, fact mix 645 and xlr8r podcast 433 were top notch.

But everyone loved the NTS weekend

This is great news. Hoping for something like his Warp30 mix.

What about Luke Vibert? He's been quite active lately.

Cats may be IDM, but breakcore is not

All of the channel 2 shows were already available and downloadable. You just have to look for them.

I feel bad for the lion guy. I'm sure I got the same BOC question and put the same answer he did. Although a visit to the "featured artists" subforum could have helped him with the Clark question.
