RVSHES - DSR/RHS I (DSR/MTS12)

Taken from: RVSHES - Mantis 12 - Delsin Records - DSR/MTS12 buy: The hybridised nature of modern dub-rooted club music continues to define Delsin’s Mantis series continues to platform hybridised variations on modernist soundsystem music with the arrival of RVSHES, the production partnership from Logos (James Parker) and DB1 (Dylan Brownsword). Both artists have production credits on respected platforms such as Hidden Hawaii, Nullpunkt, Tectonic and The Death Of Rave and more than a few collaborations to their name. As RVSHES they’ve also released on re:st, and now their precision-tooled drum pressure is being applied to six exacting studies in rig-ready rhythm and repetition. There’s a spartan, cyclical nature to the work Parker and Brownsword carry out, setting up a sturdy beat set to non-standard timings and teasing it out over an extended run time, but they also exercise a keen sense of infinitesimal progression, edging their tracks past DJ tool territory into a more captivating headspace. Maintaining the immersive atmospherics of the Mantis series to date, theirs is a sharply focused sound which sits at the intersection of tough minimal techno and polyrhythmic broken beat, positively geared towards DJs favouring inventive building blocks in their sets.
