Zunachst vinyl

Since having been picked up for WeMe Records by the legendary Heinrich Mueller - one half of Drexciya and one half of Dopplereffekt - Italy's Federico Leocata has delivered powerful, singular electro experiments on a non-stop basis and for labels such as Frustrated Funk and, more recently, Last Known Trajectory. Central Processing Unit is the new home to house the brooding, grey-scaled metallic beats of "Den Eviga Aterkomsten" and "Zunachst"; the latter being led by the coldwave vocals of Beta Evers. On the B-side, "Relativity" flaps its grainy, molecular wings to a glitchy minimal kind of beat flex, and a similar framework is carried through on "Metavision", except this time Leocata has slotted in an additional layer of eeriness in the shape of ghostly vocal swarms. High-tech gear.
