Panic Beats vinyl

Caparacara's fine ode to Giallo horror soundtracks was originally released last summer on the Seed X Part 3 compilation, and here it migrates to another splendid and vastly underrated UK imprint, Fine Art. Hopefully, this transition will belatedly endow the track with the recognition it deserves as "Panic Beats" is every bit as exciting as anything you might find on the recent and critically acclaimed Giza EP from Gatekeeper. An expert melding of hefty industrial textures, haunting chords, ever twisting electronic arpeggios atop a punishing EBM beat, it's a track that bears repeat listening. Diskjokke steps up to remix the track, seeming to revel in the menacing origins; crafting a reimagination filled with dizzying showers of percussion, amidst which an ever changing backdrop of gristly acid stabs and soaring heavily funked organ riffs. It's this menacing and schizophrenic rhythmic thrust that ensures this record sits well beyond the realms of pedestrian nu discoism.
