Shlomi Aber 'Related Sources' (Non Plus)
You’ll be removing the grit from your ears once this track is over; it sounds like it’s been covered in glue and then thrown into a bucket of gravel. Shlomi uses space to really give ‘Related Sources’ its gripping atmosphere. Sometimes producers can use too many sounds, but here he keeps it minimal and very engrossing as he steadily builds the atmosphere with a short, sharp rise in tension halfway through, before continuing with the same stripped-back and gritty soundscape as before.
7/10
