Rawaat - Day Laborer EP [Lobster Theremin]

I’m restarting this blog after years of being dormant. Hello all. Will be posting reviews / mixes / ‘creative’ ‘content’ / etc. This is an unpublished review of Rawaat’s ‘Day Laborer EP’ released on Lobster Theremin in June 2014, written for Hush House.

"With the vogue for hazy, distorted, industrial-inflected American house and techno in the past year or so not going away soon - regardless of mixed options on the genre - it’s good to hear something which takes those elements and makes something new and refreshing. Rawaat’s release on Lobster Theremin is a solid example of this. The tracks all complement one another on the record, with the beatless atmospherics of opener Caverns Of Reflection, reminiscent of Klaus Schulze’s opening to Body Love, matching with the darker and slightly more distorted rhythms of Motion Sensor. Exp2 imagines flanged drums as giant pistons, vocals echoed and stabbed as percussion, crackled, heavily filtered synths rising out of the muck. All comes to a head on the crunched up drums and distorted pads on Day Laborer, either in its original form, or the remix by Huerco S as H.S. The latter is more insistent from the start, with jackhammer percussion and the vocals transposed down slightly in pitch. This would be a surprisingly straightforward mix for Huerco S, but as H.S. he produces in perhaps a more straightforward production style, with sharper, more insistent drum programming and sound clarity, while still keeping some of the distortion and detuning that marks his work as Huerco S. I hope to see more from Rawaat - a fine addition to the current crop of young Detroit producers - and from the London label in the near future."
