As one year closes and another opens Loot again explore the path to rhythmic nirvana, this time via a set of fiery productions from Ayala. It’s all about the drums on Ecoute as they work it up to fever pitch, extracting every nuance of energetic percussion in the process. Only coloured by occasional voices plus

The Afternoon Remake of Brightest Dark is quietly sublime playing like a series of futures all rolled into one neat idea to launch this new imprint by BLOT! Its ever evolving landscapes of futuristic sound capture emotion perfectly as each fresh layer adds depth to the procedure, soaking up an array of influence yet defining
