Harmonic 313 - Dirtbox EP out 12.9.08
Coming in Feb '09, Mark Pritchard's first full-length release under the Harmonic 313 moniker, "When Machines Exceed Human Intelligence", is promising to be a real doozy. Grumbling bassweight, glitchy traces of minimal tech, acid, dancehall and dubstep all combine to form a sound both, dare i say it, 'cerebral' and danceable. The elegant juxtaposition of these elements substantiate Pritchard's breadth in both influence and execution; after all, this is the man behind Link, Troubleman, NY Connection, Global Communication, Series 7 (with Stephen Horne), Vertigo (with Danny Breaks) and a dizzying array of other projects. It promises to be a heavy Valentine's Day next year.
But, seeing as we've still some time in 2008, the Dirtbox EP has come to quell the bassfreaks amongst us. Befitting its namesake, the title track is grungy, rough and unyielding - definite dancefloor material. It behooves any fans of lower frequencies to seek out this EP when it's released on December 9th. A killer 12" with amazing artwork and limited to 300 copies in the US. Keep an eye out, and enjoy the track.
