Artist: Dionigi & Scott Hallam Title: Invisible One Label: In.Visible Cat No: IN.VIS001 Country: Uruguay Format: 12” Vinyl Genre: Techno, Downtempo, House A1 - Dionigi - Komp 22 A2 - Dionigi - Dust Distortion A3 - Dionigi - Bhaksara B1 - Scott Hallam - Larb B2 - Scott Hallam - Stupendous On their fresh imprint, In.Visible, Uruguayan mainstays Kino and Manuel Jelen turn their sonics towards the slower, and stranger. On the front is Italian legend Dionigi’s first posthumous release, having sadly passed away during the making of the record, with ‘Komp 22’ an ethereal yet eye-closing opener, plodding through luscious strings and mysterious retrofuturistic sound design. The mechanically swung percussion of ‘Dust Distortion’ takes the record into straighter territory until it code-switches into a synth workout close, while ‘Bhaskara’ rounds off the side by wiggling and scuttling through off- kilter syncopations, bassline bleeps, and hellish, claustrophobic arpeggios. The flip is helmed by UK acid day-oner Scott Hallam; ‘Larb’ offers a moody, squelching downtempo groove, before closing with the most club ready (at a push) track on the record, ‘Stupendous’ – a soaring electro number bookmarked by oddball English vocal samples.
