Second Sight

British DJ / producer and cofounder of the Manchester institution / club night / label Hoya:Hoya, Illum Sphere releases a new 12" via Ninja Tune. His first output since mid 2014's 'Spectre Vex' double 12", 'Second Sight' and 'Ritual' are reflective of a shift to a more machine-sounding approach. Lead track 'Second Sight' is a stark, paranoid banger lurking in menacing cold wave territory. On the flip, 'Ritual' layers minimal, mechanical percussion with gently arpeggiating synth lines. Two expertly crafted cuts from a producer at the top of his game, with more new music on the horizon.
