Fold

Fold returns following a pair of impressive 2013 releases for Electric Minds and George Fitzgerald’s ManMakeMusic, with the London producer bringing his house/techno/UK bass hybrid sound to his second Electric Minds EP, The Grasshopper Lies Heavy. A1, Gully rattles along at a brisk 135 bpm, a raw yet versatile DJ tool imbued with a sense of impending dancefloor mischief. The A2 Dun Kno then drops the pace down while pursuing a subtler, more melodic arc. On the flip, B1 Roy Batty carries with it its namesake’s sense of menace as its escalating synth stabs drive the track onwards. EP closer Harlyns Dub strips things down for the deepest track of the 12″, with FOLD’s love for dubbier elements of techno brought to the fore.
