Naff Canada Vinyl & CDs

Review: Naff Recordings help further the tactile ambient movement in the urban corner of QC, Canada, this time presenting a singular ambient hardcore record from Melbourne duo OK EG (Lauren Squire, Matthew Wilson) and fellow producer Priori. These four 'Serpentine' variations hear four sonic squamata slither round a steady lattice of deeper beats, the emphasis fixed on a mood of sage solemnity. The record bills itself as "dub techno" but, in our estimation, would fit better for use as a choice set of downtimes, serving well as Wim Hof breathers in otherwise fast, clobberer DJ sets. No wonder the duo refer to themselves tunes as progenitors "feather-tech", a genre term we will almost certainly be stowing away in our minds for reuse in the future.
