Paul Mac & Figure-Ground 'Digital Dialetic' (Shadow Story)
Paul Mac links up with Figure-Ground (who, we can finally reveal, are Alex from Dronelock and Boris from Ontal) for this funky jam. It kicks off with a sonar-esque effect bleeping away below the surface, like a submarine navigating the depths of ocean. Soon, a rough layer of noise descends with a parping analogue melody. This creates an interesting juxtaposition between the clean bleeps and rough beats. The distinctly retro rhythm feels very familiar, although overall there’s no doubt it’s a 21st century work.
