SA005 is destined to become a vinyl collectors' must-have. Frank Martiniq explores a whole new sonic identity on this unique 12", forging together off-kilter beats and fists full of atmospheric compression. "Blast Corps" opens the EP with a surge of delayed baseline. Crispy static rises from below and echoes swoop and simmer beneath the full-blooded base. It builds insistently, the 4/4 structure is infused with far off blips and the dusty sizzles of low-pitched white noise. On "Dark Star" warm dub keeps the sound organic. It's elemental, the baseline seems enormous enough to have a gravity of its very own and the other elements pull together around its weight. It teases, the breathy elements twitch, fidget, become fully formed but refuse to drop.
