Ghostek graced Shipwrec in 2011 with the excellent Easy Changes. Now the Russian producer returns to the Dutch imprint with two tracks for Deep Sound Channel. A steady drum pattern introduces the mysteriously shrouded "The Morning After." Toms are hollowed out as persistent percussion builds into a lonesome and windswept plateau of otherworldly aspects. Ambient spills into Techno for this cerebral spiral of sounds. "2.5 Miles Abyss" steals the listener below matted waves. Melodies blur, harmonies washing out of focus as aural layers lap overhead. Northern skies of solid permanence shift against cylindrical coils and lost vocals as immense pressures rise and fall under Ghostek's omnipresent control. Colored vinyl (only) release.
