DYL – Glasshouse [DET004]
The fledgling Detach label continues to show it means business with a new 12″ in a lovely screen-printed sleeve. Romanian artist Dyl is the one in charge and has been serving up consistently excellent and innovative sounds now for serval years. All of these cuts mix up great sound design with languid rhythms – the first is eerie, with watery droplets and glassy tinkles hanging in the air, while ‘Glasshouse 2’ has a percolating rhythm down low. ‘Glasshouse 3’ gets a little more dynamic with a shimmering low end and freaky abstract life forms and ‘Glasshouse 4’ layers in more intense and ever-shifting synth lines while the closer sounds like it’s roaming through a deserted factory long after it shut down.
