Serum 'Species' EP (31 Recordings)
Serum goes deep on 31, sampling experimental electronics from the 70s, using vintage hardware and paying homage to label honcho Doc Scott’s legendary dark-edged aesthetic, too. Standout ‘Redeemer’ feels like a twisted cousin of all-time classic ‘Shadowboxing’, with a demonic whalesong of a synth shrieking away in the deep while smooth pads lash a rolling lick into place. It's a blast of retro grit and refined bass textures.
