Batrachian Vinilo y CD

Review: Ritual Poison's Batrachian sub label welcomes Miles Otto to the fold with some exemplary explorations on the outer reaches of electro. There's a braindance warble to the synth work, but the beats have a decisive crunch and impact which ensures these tracks have been built with the floor in mind. Still, Otto has plenty to say through his melodic passages, whether on the dreamy 'CV Swizzly' or the snappier 'Vectron'. It's fitting that Plant43 is on board for a remix of 'CV Swizzly', given that artist's long-standing commitment to pushing electro forwards in interesting directions. Throughout, we're treated to the highest of high-grade machine funk - highly recommended for anyone in thrall to the machines.
