Technician by Contours
After the success of the Henry Wu & Chaos in the CBD releases, Rhythm Section International present their 9th offering, from Mancunian newcomer 'Contours’.
‘Technician' is a percussion led rhythmic exploration, spanning 6 tracks which take in down-tempo grooves to up-beat workouts, all held together by a smooth, lucid sonic palette and arresting, unorthodox live percussive elements.
Already an accomplished drummer and percussionist, Contours manages to combine driving rhythm, lush textures and hypnotic melodies to create a sound that feels very much at home as part of the Rhythm Section imprint, while simultaneously pushing it forward into new, undiscovered territory. One for the Heads, one for the Dancers, one for the warm up, one for the afterparty

Contours is the project of musician, producer and DJ Tom Burford. Based in Cumbria, Contours’ sound explores the spaces, rhythms and textures that sit between House, Jazz, broken-beat, Hip Hop and percussive obscurities.
Drum machines, synthesisers, live percussion, samples and field recordings create an infectious blend of the electronic and the organic, the live and the programmed.
