Genre/Influences:
Industrial-techno,
IDM.
Background/Info:
DJ and producer
Arjun Vagale is considered a pioneer of techno music in India. After numerous
releases he now released the debut work of another project as Asymetrik.
There’s also a vinyl edition available with one less song.
Content:
The digital-EP
format features 5 tracks, which are moving much further from simply techno
music. It all sounds like Arjun Vagale discovered industrial music, which he
meticulously mixed with techno. The opening piece sounds as a warm-up for the 3
master cuts coming next. This is a hard and sophisticated industrial-techno
sound driven by a dry, danceable kick. The intelligent treatments and
arrangements are opening a window upon IDM.
+ + + :
This is intelligent
music, which can be defined as industrial-techno with IDM influences on top.
The artist has used a great arsenal of sounds and noises –featuring analogue
treatments, but it’s especially the way he produced these different elements
that sounds great and efficient. “Before Dawn” is a brilliant song with a dark
and anguished atmosphere on top. “Exit Stage Left” is made of the same
ingredients and here again there’s a chilling sphere hanging over the song.

The last song
–digital bonus, “Xplor Senses” is the single cut that couldn’t convince me.
Conclusion:
This debut EP is a
great discovery and a must have for all lovers of intelligent industrial-techno
music!
Best songs:
“Before Dawn”,
“Exit Stage Left”, “C19H21N3O”.
