Wave Function レコード& CD

Review: New heat from Datawave is always going to be worth tuning into, and so it proves with this new one on Wave Function. His signature fusion of dreamy synthscapes and kinetic rhythms shines bright from the off with 'Hyperborea' soothing mind and soul while the body shifts its behind. 'Dawnlights' has lazy acid modulations drifting between the slower beats, then 'Drifting' is as hopeful as the dawn of a new day with it arching chords and celestial synth twinkles. 'Aquila' has a more pronounced broken beat pattern and prying bass, but still plenty of deft melodies, and 'Landscapes' is a dubbed-out thinker.

Review: If you like your electro high in sci-fi overtones and rich in cinematic designs then look no further. This Destroy Him 12" on Wave Function is just what you need in your life. 'Destroy Him My Robots' is an evocative piece with sombre chords in the background and snappy metallic rhythms up front. 'The Path To Enlightenment' powers on through the cosmos to planets light years away, and 'What Side Will You Be On' layers up whip-snaking synths with corrugated drum patterns. 'Sterrenwacht' brings some jungle fever and 'Hydrogen Bombs' closes with a sense of terror.
