Spectrum EP vinyl

Boof! Belgium's Meakusma finally return with their fifteenth release and it's by none other than Ryo Murakami, co-founder of the lovely Ranrecords label and an artist who has featured on everything from Dessous to Germany's Poker Flat. "Contagion" is on a classic Meakusma tip, where bleak, echoing sonics meet intricate percussion and low-swung low-ends, while "Statical" is an utterly swamped lo-fi jam for the pensive state of mind. Over on the B-side, legend Porter Ricks delivers a trademark dub-techno reinterpretation filled with cavernous swells of delay and that inimitable old-school Berlin flex. It's like hearing a new Chain Reaction, and that's pretty serious stuff in our books. A must have!
