Evolution and Disorder
There are two new releases out on the Xynthetic netlabel:
XSN034 – Logical Disorder ‘Hypnotism and Gnosis’
Javier Berraro (aka m u t o) provides us with his second EP from his Logical Disorder project for Xynthetic: ‘Hypnotism and Gnosis.’ This latest EP follows with the same crystal clear production and solid musicality to the core of his tracks that we’ve come to expect from him. ‘Hypnotism and Gnosis’ explores the hidden corners of the mind and blends a variety of sonic palettes, fusing classic thirdwave Industrial influences with shiny, up-to-date, intelligent electronica. This release is also the first Xynthetic download to include a video, which was made for the track Phantas featured among the five tracks on this release. Check it here.
XSN035 – Swordxl ‘It’s Evolution Baby’
Swordxl delivers his first release for Xynthetic with the 10-track full length release ‘It’s Evolution Baby.’ Angular and oblique breakbeats collide with plush melodies and soft atmospherics through a variety of remixes of/by and original tracks from Swordxl. This release offers something for the casual listener as well as grist for those looking to dive deeper into the more cerebral end of breakcore and leftfield downtempo. Check it here.
