Following guest mixes on NTS and performances in the Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall, TT are proud to present the debut EP from London-based artist aircode, Dislocated....
Characterised by a commanding use of texture, aircode’s production punctuates the spaces it inhabits with enigmatic precision. I Know My Life searches fitfully for the obscured; pairing sweeping synth motifs with distorted speech to create a sense of quiet knowing. Placing the listener in the midst of surrounding, bass-heavy intensity, Reform freezes and warps those surroundings until breathy gasps return the focus back to the body. Club-driven experiments such as Lipsill’s unnerving echoes and the suspended scratches of When It’s Said It Is combine a commitment to meticulous sound design with a recognition of the pleasure of masterfully navigating a chaotic club space.
Imbued throughout with a tangible sense of disruption and confusion, Dislocated presents a idiosyncratic club manifesto from one of London’s most exciting emerging producers.
