From Boomkat:
Second transmission from the mysterious Emptyset, a Bristolian collective armed with cross-generic roots
linking them to Dubstep, as well as the Minimal techno they've become well known for since the release of
the excellent "Acuphase EP" earlier on this year. The bleep-techno fashioned by the Sahko imprint and re-
ignited by Sleeparchive a couple of years back has lost much of the momentum it had last year, with the
sound seemingly falling out of favour with the big name DJ's who flirted with it a good 18 months or so ago.
Emptyset might well cause many of them to rethink their selections, "Isokon" offering up an exceptional
blend of bleep aesthetics and warm basslines that are testament to Emptyset's open minded credentials.
It's a largely looped number, with the burning embers of cinematic strings accompanying proceedings for
much of their duration. The result is a widescreen reduction that oozes warmth and familiarity despite the
threadbare construction, a masterful self-assurance allowing the track to avoid stylistic conceits and
disruptions lesser producers might have felt compelled to engage. "Seclusion" on the flip is much more
full-bodied, revolving around a machine-like percussive chug and a colossal bassline, those of you patiently
waiting for the much heralded techno/dubstep crossover to fulfil its promise will want to investigate further
without delay, it's a low-end beast of immense, towering proportions.
