Humanoid Recordings レコード& CD

Review: Humanoid Recordings co-founder 4d lays down another four-track 12" for the label, scouring the weightier and scrapier ends of minimal and acid house, all while teasing out a retro-robotic edge. Only an artist with a real sense of humour can invoke ideas of 'Stupidity' and 'Quantum Theory' in the same breath; both tracks betray the unified whimsy and intelligence that a successful acid house and techno artist must portray in order to win hearts. The latter uses a particularly sticky, hard-to-pin-down 4x4 kick style; contrast to B1 'World In Our Head', which portrays a psychic model of the outside world through trilling trance lines, and the meek glissandos of 'Sowie Lockers', securing an indeterminate but funky mood.

Review: Liverpool's own Brent delivers HMND 005 on Humanoid Recordings, infused with deep synthwave aesthetics and pulsating basslines that drive this LP from start to finish. This fifth release from Humanoid captures Brent's unique touchia high-energy blend of retro-futuristic synths and a richly layered soundscape that take listeners on a cinematic journey through neon-lit atmospheres. The tracks unfold like scenes from a late-night film, with rhythmic depth and melodic synth lines that immerse you in a sleek, immersive audio experience.
