Arcane Patterns is happy to announce its first release, the 12inch "When Grounds Shift" by the duo aphtc which is a visceral trip into a sonic fiction, in which everything is out of balance. Rhythms take over your sensory system in order to resonate in a new way and your muscles are tricked by spontaneous desires. While the intricate breakbeat on "When Grounds Are Shifting (The Otolith Is Obsolete)" creates a dialogue with the genderless vocals samples, counterpointed by sudden strikes of visceral subbass, the jungle inspired B side "Gravity`s Pitfalls" starts with clusters of atonal clouds peaking in a trembling bass drop followed by polymetric drum patterns that sketch spaces of radical autonomy. Inspired by dialectic breakbeat aesthetics and sonic fiction, aphtc takes a great step forward to shape a colourful future.
