'despot' starts the album with a trancey bassline punctuated with off-key vocal stabs, the form of the track brutally prized apart with pitch-shifting seasick chords. it's the record's longest track, and a powerful opener. 'boi's mix of stuttering vocal loops, aqueous chords and frantic drums is tainted with sorrow and loss. it's got a nervous energy, always feeling like it's going to topple in on itself, lapsing from ravey propulsion into nauseated hiss and back again. 'eat shit (waterfalls mix)' is broken and distressed techno in miniature, making the most of distortion and echo to create shimmer and splinters of noise over rough, murky percussion. the dark center of the album, 'enrique', strips things back to a cavernous ambience with molasses-slow vocals and a heartbeat drum, building into pulsing tones and scratching noise pulled across the spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50491285176651,"sku":"356109","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/eeef96d4-c525-4abd-b793-9a2e7f63a3b9_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727684745"},{"product_id":"endgame-1","title":"Endgame","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter emerging in 2011 via a rapid-fire series of groundbreaking EPs, Brooklyn-based producer Ital (Daniel Martin-McCormick) surprised followers by releasing his debut album \"Hive Mind\" on Planet Mu in February 2012. The record immediately struck a chord with both critics and fans for its fascinating use of house rhythms to bolster fractured, alien landscapes with a surprisingly tender emotional power. Seemingly unconcerned with dance music orthodoxy and informed by years in the noise-punk underground, his compositions came out of left field, constructed on primitive software with bizarre, culture jamming samples. Dance music in New York was re-emerging after a period of stagnation, and Ital was among the first of a younger wave of producers to invigorate it with a dose of visceral vitality. Since then, he's remained at the forefront with a remarkable EP for esteemed label Workshop, a collaboration with Hieroglyphic Being and a pair of excellent EPs on his own Lovers Rock imprint. Now Ital has returned to Planet Mu for \"Endgame\", his most singular and hypnotic work to date.LP - Double Vinyl with Download.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Planet Mu","offers":[{"title":"LP | x2","offer_id":50492672639307,"sku":"378961","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50492674343243,"sku":"378962","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/1f1d9f6b-8a55-4983-a08c-517363dffefb_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727692971"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_c5ca3661_thumbnail_4096_1cdf36cc-aa4b-47c0-a776-0ea8df7f6236.jpg?v=1727684726","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/ital.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
