Straddling the divide between a detail-obsessed avant-garden of experimental found sound frickeling and the more structured, functionally focussed world of dancefloor tool tracks, Dapayk ingeniously merges disparate ends of the musical spectrum in his intriguing Textone release.
With a unique mature sound of his own, well-honed on his imprint Mo's Ferry, Niklas Worgt has already established a solid artistic base which allows him to confidently venture into different corners of the minimal dancelfoor and integrate the gleaned pictures into an overall tapestry that achieves coherence in variety. If the history of electronic music is quoted in one second, the next moment finds Dapayk abusing his samples past the limits of their granularity. A precarious balance, far out in each direction.
The opener, "Beutekunst", lives from a vibrant tension between a simple analog bass that commands the dancefloor and warbling, quavering sinusoid sci-fi noises.
"Bionz" juxtaposes an oddly slanted 4/4 beat with beautifully subdued minor pads.
"Naugthy Broken Drums" breaks with linear percussion structures and replaces them with a funky hybrid beat replete with long-decay 808 basslines and chord sequencing from the good old days. May induce fond memories of the early 90s...
Finally, "Schroebbel's Schorf" disassembles the previous material and only leaves a bone-dry skeleton of abbreviated click-quotations with an occasional sawtooth synth here and there.
