  • Description

    A subtly intense offering of lush drum-machine nocturnes, gnarly electronica and glorious dives deep into zoned-out dubspace.

    Evolutionary music, continuously engaged with experimentation both in the studio and the club. Whether prepared solo, or jointly with his spar Mix Mup, a Kassem Mosse recording is less of a stand-alone creation than the next thrilling new fragment clipped from an ever-mutating, unstoppable groove. The result is a back catalogue containing some of the most mystical and essential dancefloor-rooted music of the last decade, from dusty, dreamstate techno on Workshop and Mikrodisko, to frazzled percussive beatdowns on Trilogy Tapes and Nonplus.

    Techno and house still animate Disclosure, yet with something newly microscopic about them. Its mesmerising play of pointillistic percussion, melting-wax chords and fleshy bump’n’grind suggests biological processes at work, as if Mosse has zoomed right into the cellular metabolism ticking away at the music's core. These textures are channelled into some of KM’s richest and and most emotionally complex music yet, constantly pricked with terse allusions to jazz and dub: the deep blue synthetic brass and dizzying rhythmic fracas of Phoenicia Wireless; the swooning moonlit techno of Collapsing Dual Core and Molecular Memories; the frantic drum-machine tarantella of Galaxy Series 7; the heady, heavy-lidded drama of Purple Graphene, to close. Sometimes, as on the glowering, sub-loaded stomper Drift Model, his beats sound ancient, caked in soot and dust — an intricate ballet for fossilised drum machines.

    Disclosure brilliantly proffers all the self-contained coherence and artistic authority of an album proper — yet always shadowed by the open-ended and questing spirit so vital to Mosse’s music, its sense that anything could happen at any moment.
