CODE-915913 by AL-90

"At first, AL-90’s CODE-915913 seemed like it might be pigeonholed as a relic of the mid-‘10s outsider house boom. However, as it’s aged, it’s begun to feel more akin to the work of Farben and Deepchord than Ross from Friends, Mall Grab, or DJ Seinfeld. The first full length from the Murmansk, Russia-based producer is centered around heavily-filtered samples, minuscule key tones, and sharp drum machine grooves. “Radicalnye Tanzi” pairs a cascading female vocal clip with a synth part that sounds like the “Show Me Love” bassline played through an ant-sized speaker setup. Meanwhile, “Melancholia Staroy Pornozvezdy” puts a bleary spin on shuffling techno. Best of all, “Experienced Girl” flips a snippet of The Supremes’s 1964 track “Come And See About Me,” manipulating it into a gripping, forlorn loop. As a whole, this album is as frigid and futuristic as its glitchy cover—an unjustly overlooked contemporary electronic masterpiece."
