#20 Feat. Staff Picks in Electro (Classic / Detroit / Modern)

As summer draws to a close, and after a 6-year hiatus, we invite Hedchef back to the label to grace the table as we enter club season. Jack, now living in Melbourne, sits at the head in every sense, from his artist name to his production excellence. Hedchef serves up a delightful 4-course meal of electronica and bass, complete with just desserts from another huge Aussie-based producer, Homemade Weapons. Introducing the expertly titled: Infinite Deferral of a Promised Hidden Sincerity. We kick off with a bang(er) titled Dyatlov Full Spec, an electronic stomper which weaves in Middle Eastern strings and Arabic vocal tones. Next up is Rhizomatic Heartbreak, a melodic, thoughtful, drum-centered track with aggressive low end, flavoured with a generous dash of techno seasoning in a palate of electronica. We move into Hanging In The Balance, which raises the tension and the temperature another notch; a masterpiece in sound design and progression. This track should come with a *DANGER* warning. Finally, we have Where Body Meets Air We Are All Cadavers, settling the tension and with spacious textures, but tasting no less spicy than the preceding dishes. We are blessed to have Homemade Weapons on the remix of Dyatlov Full Spec. The original is completely inverted with his take, centering on breakcore style drum patterns characteristic of a Machinedrum set. 1 <3 EMB HQ
