KINZUA — Purest State Confusion LP

Duo Lucas Brell and Marvin Uhde deliver fire-powered percussion to Osàre! Editions. Longtime friendsand collaborators, they channel a liquid medley of drum menace that flips sideways, swiftly pivotingbetween wildly different tempos. As disorientating as it is formidable, Purest State Confusion offers up afractal prism of ever-shifting beat patterns – an endlessly warping vortex of guttural, narcotic sounds.The titular number, a wormhole techno ordeal, builds steadily, layer upon layer. A crystalline dancefloorpleaser, it subverts classic four-to-the-floor with a delayed kick drum that punctuates every 8th beat. Likeblack oil diffusing in water, the bass creeps in menacingly to 'The Disappearer', in hard and fast contrastwith the sharp fluctuations of the amen break. Slamming in mercilessly, 'Channeling Bryn Jones' opensup the B-side, its fluttering rhythms joining together with an infectious klaxon melody before the IDMstylings of 'Brain Massage' closes out. Purest State Confusion was recorded at various locations in Leipzig and Berlin.Final touches and mixing assistance were performed by Mike Bierbach at the WSNWG studios. The pioneering techno producerinflects the record with his staunch taste for aerobic club rhythmics, teasing out the whirling tempos andpointillistic harmonics.
