TVO - The Dark Is Rising - 12" Vinyl

Scottish electronica head Ruaridh Law has persistently pushed his own style of dance music for a range of labels from Highpoint Lowlife to the ace Stuff crew, blending pastoral electronic melodics with the febrile techno/electro rhythms of Warp acts like Plaid or Skam's Mr76IX 'Dwyer' is a succinct fission of the aforementioned styles, with rolling breakbeat driven techno/IDM and quaintly pastoral vibes, which get stripped back and reinforced on the Bonus beats version. Loaded up with potential for mixing with streamlined bass heavy rhythms and crunching hiphop/techno that we could imagine Rob Hall spinning, there's even more with the absolutely sick 2562 remix of 'Afanc', which merges his reconfigured garage-tech swing rhythms with soft and gaseous ambient textures glinting with the sheen of trusted hi-end production from Dave Husimans.
