Entropy EP vinyl

As Will Bankhead cranks up the pressure with a final quarter 2014 release schedule for The Trilogy Tapes which includes output from Low Jack, Zennor, Sassy J, Chemotex, Max D, Aaron Dilloway and more, the inimitable Ekman makes his label debut with some crushing electronics. Recent material from the Dutch producer for Berceuse Heroique and Panzerkreuz has proved to be some of the most scorched electro to surface from the Lowlands in some time, but the Entropy EP finds Roel Dijcks expanding his palette further. There's a sense of abstraction throughout all four tracks here, with notions of rhythm only loosely adhered too, with the overwhelming sonic pressure of "?0" and "Dissipation" offset by the lighter title track. Closer "?S" veers into the crawlspace between the insectile sound design of Mike Parker and the lysergic hardware manipulations of Hieroglyphic Being.
