OTR

London-based Vester Koza makes the move from Maslo to Houndstooth. It’s a shred signing by the Fabric-backed label, as “OT_R~cord” shows. Fusing glitchy elements with early 90s Warp melodies, it’s a twitchy but entertaining affair. “Robocow Exe” is cut from the same glitchy, low-tempo sources, although on this occasion, it feels like Koza is drawing on jazz influences. “Served_On_Barm” sees the upcoming producer create a mysterious dub odyssey, where eerie textures flow and ebb, while closing out this release is the understated, reflective minimalism of “Zrtp (P-Bass Special)”, which sounds like Akufen on downers.
