Turn on. Tune in. drop out. That’s pretty much what I think of electronica. I can’t listen to it all the time. I could never dance to it all night. It’s good for exercising. It’s good for getting pumped up or for relaxing. It reminds me of college in the early 90s. So I get a flashback listening to the new release Nothing by Zomby [a heralded UK producer]. I don’t know techno music enough to distinguish anything by degrees. I could never differentiate Zomby from anything else. The first song on Zomby’s new EP “Labrynith” is very upbeat and makes you want to jump up and dance whereas “Sens” and “Skyhigh” relinquish you deep into blissful oblivion. Gentle pulsing and softer beats aurally soothe and extend that relaxation. I particularly appreciate the effervescent “Stargate5.”
