Department's debut two-track vinyl, INDEX 021, presents a compelling sonic journey. This release expertly blends elements of UK bass, IDM, downtempo, and ethereal rave, creating a nuanced and evolving soundscape. 'Recovery' delivers a robust, breaks-driven energy, building towards a substantial, selector-friendly climax. Conversely, 'Cogent' unfolds deliberately from ambient textures into a tense arrangement of staccato drums and intricate whirring hooks. This hand-stamped 12-inch vinyl is an essential acquisition for collectors seeking deeply atmospheric and progressive electronic music.
