Greg Fenton reviews Simon Mós – Kuiper Belt EP – Ten Flowers
I very rarely quote press releases. However, Simon’s sound exists at the intersection of experimental and dancefloor-driven techno, with a focus on sonic exploration that pushes boundaries. It sounds like a location where music of all types should exist rather than the numbing repetition of the past, or as I’ve come to call it, Light Entertainment. After all, it’s the exciting, life-changing things we hear that only add to our experience of the power of music to (perhaps) effect change.
Techno isn’t a ready landscape I often find myself in, but the four tracks from this EP are as much about atmosphere and grainy in-betweens as they are about the ghost of Detroit. Kuiper Belt opens and asks what feels like a series of impromptu questions above and beyond the dancefloor. Heliopause proves a cool uplift via its modular arpeggios and broken beats, while the brilliant Newton does similar things, albeit with four/ four drums highlighting. The darkly inquisitive Random Melody provokes the thought process care of seemingly erratic synthesizers cruising over a relaxation of trippy soundscapes, again feeling very wonderful and refreshing to touch.
