Atrice: Q
Swiss duo Atrice make dubbed-out bass music that might’ve fallen under the dubstep umbrella a decade-plus ago, but now sort of exists in its own orbit. Their
first EP for the
now-unspotified Ilian Tape has slow, lumbering but twitchy beats and spacious effects, flashing back to Tectonic and Planet Mu output from the mid-2000s on “Mad Console”, while conducting an outer space mini-symphony with “Intensified”. The title track is delicate but slamming, with beats that gradually become more rapid and bass that manages to be both calming and low-key threatening. “Cont. Piuuu” is more bugged-out, with a stuttering glitch and smoldering bass adding some edge to the track’s smooth flow.
