Code Walk 'Bruda' EP (12 Records)
Copenhagen duo Code Walk present their debut EP ‘Bruda’ via their own F12 Records. The EP’s opener, ‘Doubler’, is a barren number as the drum machine lays the groundwork for cyborgian sirens and swelling pad work to take centre stage. ‘Guess What’ is more heavy footed, but has the added excitement of androgynous vocals from Smerz, as well as some FX wizardry layed over rubbery bass drums. ‘Rob’ is at the other end of the tempo spectrum, as Code Walk fashions a 140bpm banger that falls somewhere between Autechre-style electro and techno-infused gabber. And to finish, the acrid title track is brimming with barbed hooks, spangled synth work and tight drums.
