Harnessed the Storm

Released

Seminal Detroit techno and electro from Drexciya from 2002, consisting of seven lean, airless, metallic tracks built around either a pulsing 4/4 beat or a funkier electro rhythm. There’s a simplicity to much of what’s going on throughout Harnessed the Storm, but the synthetic atmospheres that are conjured up give it a genuine depth. Each track is created from a minimum quantity of carefully synthesised rhythmic elements and aquatically deep bass over which the electronic chatter of arpeggios, LFOs and chord shards are sprinkled on top. Direct, spacey, haunting, electronic futurism from Detroit.
