Anonymous production unit Szare return with three fresh cuts for Manchesters Mindset Records. Critically acclaimed releases for the equally shadowy Horizontal Ground imprint, Bristols Idle Hands and the Berlin based Krill Music amongst others have seen Szare embed themselves firmly in the techno landscape, finding a receptive audience for their unique blend of bass heavy, tribal dissonance or in their own words, sounds that are eerie, lazy and chewy.
Mindset’s much feted music policy continues to encapsulate and offer an output to those pushing sonic boundaries, following no set pattern. The only solid reference point between releases is an omnipresent nod towards soundsystem culture and a recurrant love for sub-bass lines.Opener Dust is a forward leaning movement, with ominous background disturbances given ample breathing room in the mix to wax and wane prior to the deployment of a deadly bassline, lent pace by rolling hats and an immutable drum pattern. The irreverently titled Leaning Towers of Concrete opens with a poignancy Szare devotees will be unfamiliar with, before monolithic bass stabs and half heard field recordings hail the onset of a menacing and suitably grimy return to active dissonance. Raw tribal percussion drives B2 Você Aí, with an off kilter rhythm working in tandem with a mutated garage beat to create serious late night basement vibes.
