Demdike Stare - Testpressing #004

With the fourth installment to its ongoing Testpressing series, producer duo Demdike Stare have released two unbelievably brutal, anachronistic tracks with "Fail" and "Null Results."

The former bleeds distressing distant echoes, drumming up to a hurling, deconstructive ending. That may sound remotely boastful, but rest assured "Fail" delivers in such a profound way that there's no way of possibly overstating it.

While "Null Results" doesn't have the provocative "aw" of "Fail," it does well to comb a little acid house into the effort. Stream both tracks below courtesy of Modern Love.

Album Stream: Miles Whittaker - Faint Hearted

As one half of Demdike Stare, Miles Whittaker already has an ear for jarring, rhythmic pulse. Venturing off for his newest side solo-venture, Whittaker has produced the earthly, bruising Faint Hearted LP, that's fairly apt to the name. The tracks range from crushing industrial drone to modern twinged German electro-house, with plenty of shaking personality split in between.

Stream Whittaker's entire Faint Hearted below, but do yourself a favor and grab the LP via Modern Love as soon as you can.

New Andy Stott - Numb

Haunting, distant, and calmly pressing, are some of the ways to describe the utterly engrossing opening track "Numb" from Andy Stott's upcoming album Luxury Problems. Laced with luring vocal samples from Alison Skidmore and dripping atmospheric echoes, the track drifts from chaotic space to a collapsing dream. Listen for yourself below, and grab the album next month from fantastic underground UK label Modern Love.
