Barada Trax Vol 6 vinyl

Bryan Zentz blends a range of influences on his new outing for Sonic Groove, not least acid on the moody opener 'Street Creeper'. It does indeed have the menacing feel of being followed down a deserted street but with raw claps and jacked-up beats for company. 'Stygian Calculus' then rides on a more stripped-back rhythm with snappy snares front and centre. 'Mopsjack' is another raw machine workout with mid-tempo drums and edgy stabs, fizzing pads and fractured vocals. 'Data Dancer' is all about the brilliantly gurgling bassline which keeps you in a state of stasis and 'Rogue Sine' brings some uplifting pads work to close on a high note.
