MILLIMETRIK
MYSTIQUE DRUMS (MAKE MINE MUSIC)
Millimetrik, the artistic moniker of Quebec resident Pascal Asselin, has been with the label since 2006, releasing two EPs and an album "Northwest Passage's New Era", which "nailed precisely the frozen-out, future techno chic of early mid-period Warp releases from Black Dog and Autechre and applied a good shaking of crushed-diamond sheen Over the course of his earlier releases, Millimetrik's music shifted from dark ambient, through hip hop and post-rock, into the engaging blend of vocals, dreampop and melodic electronica evident on the last album.
Never one to sit still, new album "Mystique Drums" once again sees Pascal advancing Millimetrik's sound into new territories, with far greater emphasis on bass and rhythm.
It is probably fair to say that parts of this album will surprise both fans of Millimetrik and Make Mine Music, not least its incorporation of dubstep alongside the more familiar elements.
