OPERATOR - The Spectral Citadel

Munich's esteemed Ilian Tape label delivers once again with Operator's 'The Spectral Citadel,' a compelling journey into deep, textured techno. Rich Jones meticulously crafts tracks like 'Dhampir,' featuring dusty, broken rhythms and ethereal synth work. 'The Dress She Wore' propels forward with undulating drums and smeared dub chords, building a potent groove. Expect dark, hard-edged percussion on 'Vector Spirit,' culminating in the radiant pads and tight drums of 'Winding & Remote.' This EP is an essential acquisition for connoisseurs of cerebral yet dancefloor-ready electronic music.
