Umwelt & Parand – Shapeshifters EP [NF31]

Umwelt and Parand join their considerable forces together for this last outing of the year on the New Flesh label. It comes on translucent green wax and opens with the collaborative ‘Time Paradox’ which fuses techno and electro rhythms into a thrilling, bumpy ride to the cosmos. ‘Spaceshifters’ is their second cut together and this one has more brutal drums and coarse, coruscated percussion. Parand goes it alone on the flipside for an acid-laced electro-techno monster and then Umwelt brings a little celestial melody to ‘Transmission From Hydra.’
