Plated Body by Duswunder

On ACEN018 we welcome long-time friend of the label
Duswunder. Plated Body is the first four-track EP on All Centre,
showcasing the breadth and versatility of Duswunder’s sound.

The EP kicks off with Adorned, immediately introducing
Duswunder’s characteristically complex sound design.
Enchanting pads lay the foundation before giving way to
a disorientating DnB-adjacent rhythm. From here refined,
abrasive textures dominate whilst tender melodies lurk
beneath. The track reaches its peak with a dizzying arpeggiated
melody, eventually giving way to the subdued choral pads.

The next track is Loccc, slowing the tempo but keeping
the intensity strong. A range of meticulously manipulated
percussive noises weave around intricate drum patterns. The
track eventually breaks down, resembling something of a
malfunctioning machine, as stunning melodic lines rise from
the corroding rhythms.

We then find ourselves with the interlude Sprung. An exercise
in space and weight, the track contrasts moments of enthralling
intensity and near-silence, punctuated by shimmering synths
and affecting vocal samples.

Duswunder closes the EP with Evo. The track gradually brings
the energy back up to an apex with the introduction of driving
kicks, accented by morphing percussion hits and alluring
voices. Emotive melodic elements lie beneath the driving
rhythms, brought to the forefront as the track breaks down,
before closing out with another arresting rhythmic assault.

Plated Body is available across all platforms from July 3rd.
