Breach is an artist who has maintained an enviable position successfully straddling the gulf between commercial music the underground. Keeping his feet planted firmly on both sides his multi-faceted catalogue has touched Ramp/PTN, Pets Recordings and Dirtybird as well his own label Naked Naked through which he has pushed music from the likes of Midland, Dusky, Dark Sky and Lorca. Now, in the follow up to his latest EP alongside Cinnaman, Breach returns to AUS music who follow up releases from Bwana, Tom Demac and Youandewan and continue to persist with unparalleled consistency. Breach’s ‘Dim Sum’ EP is a moody collection that reasserts his status as a producer who’s just as capable of working with a stripped framework and smokey textures as he is with catchy melodies and vocal hooks. The title track kicks things off with a gravelly percussive loop that circles ahead of a passage of jarring synth stabs. The tenor dips again before dramatic acoustics build toward a wall of thick interweaving melodies. ‘Anna Love’ then lays a glassy sheet over tough, concrete percussion before Breach teases the filters on a bold and husky synth tone. ‘Purple’ then rolls out it’s whittled elements as a disquieting vocal snippet, clipped percussion and a swelling synth tone rotate ahead of a plunge into a dense, aquatic effect as Breach continues to add dimensions to his catalogue and keep us guessing which direction he’ll be taking next.
