about

Near, a newcomer, makes blistering hybrids that hover at around 125 BPM, but can sound like dubstep, drum & bass or something in between. Static's three originals are at slightly different tempos, but they're made up of similar parts: foreboding synths, buzzing basslines and nimble drums. The title track is the standout, with a barbed wire bassline and drums that expand and contract like sharp breaths, recalling the recent work of Fracture and Sam Binga. "Impel" and "Friction" are hard to tell apart. There are differences in the drums, but both tunes have the same cascading melodies and vaguely menacing vocal samples.

The remixes offer different colours. TSVI moulds "Static" into rude UK funky in the vein of his excellent Sacred Drums EP, while Sam Binga pulls "Impel" up to 160 BPM for a drum beatdown that, even by his standards, feels heavy.
