Rings Around Saturn - (S.T.)

New album from one of my favorite current producers.  Loving what I'm hearing so far.

For the first album on brokntoys, Rory McPike (Rings Around Saturn, Bleekman, 2200, Pickleman) puts the hammer down with a double pack of abstract and dancefloor excursions. 

Oozing style, the Melbourne producer showcases a singular talent over 11 tracks, bridging frazzled new wave & pulsating techno via claustrophobic electronics. 

Equally at home dragging bodies on to the floor (classy IDM-nodder ‘Automatic Memory’) as keeping them throbbing til sunrise (early-morning highlight ‘Pulp Tech’), BT30 deftly connects the varied threads laid out by McPike over his previous EPs for Forbidden Planet, Unthank & Analogue Attic. 

Crucially never feeling strained during its steps through styles, there’s plenty here for the DJs and herbally-minded home-listening enthusiasts alike. One to sink into…

Good stuff! 

Pretty much a perfect album. Up there with Morphology’s latest.

Yeah this is awesome, classy throughout.

Apocalypse Lite at about the 2:45-3:30 mark is divine.

This is magnificent, can already feel this will get many plays through the years.

Might end up challenging Flying Microtonal Banana & Wildflower as my fave Australian album of the decade.

Ok, I’ll have to check that album out now.
