Kontext – Convex Curved Mirror/ Hometown Swamp

Kontext new release on Immerse Recordings defies categorisation. Leading the new wave of dub influenced techno ambient sounds.
If Minilogue made Dubstep!!!

“Convex Curved Mirror” fuses deep chord stabs with playfully arpeggiated midrange synth incisions that slice through the persistent kick drum and potent low end combination effortlessly, creating a slightly disjointed melody. Beneath the scattershot theme lies some deeply impressive programming; underlying the resonating kick drums with found sound snatches of distant voices and pulses of power bass, Kontext brings a shade of the modified 2-step skip to the minimal tech drum shadow, giving the powerful stomp an erratic kind of shoulder-heavy lean.
