‘Mad Zapper’ is abstract, comprised of simple yet challenging beats, tones and stutters, whilst ‘Angry Drummer’’s taiko/kumi-daiko style percussion has a rousing, heavy thump. Pan’ sounds equally enthralling whether soundtracking a dark movie scene of impending danger, or carying enratptured ravers on a danceflor journey, especially one suited to the synapse-prodding drama of a high production, lazer-heavy festival set. Choppy drums and bouncy bass tones are laced with the georgeos melody of ‘Ehru’, and ‘Vectors’ is sleek ‘n’ deep breakbeat-garage-meets-IDM. Although already known for elements of musicality, Walton raises his game even higher with the beautiful closing track ‘White Lotus’, which has a wow factor akin to hearing Aphex’s Twin’s ‘Jynweythek Ylow’ for the first time. “The title came from the idea that I wanted it to be sweet and melodic in areas, but dark and grimey at the same time", recalls Walton. “I never really listened to much Japanese and Chinese music before working on this, and that element originally came from listening to a lot of Sino grime stuff. It wasn’t until I was deep into the process of making the album that I started listening to loads of traditional stuff on YouTube for melodic ideas, which changed how it turned out. The whole dubstep techno crossover thing was also a big influence.
