Release Notes :
The first original Drumcode material from Alan FItzpatrick since his debut LP,
'Shadows in The Dark', takes the form of the six-track 'Insurgent Series' EP.
From the brutal, distorted tones of opener 'Tinitus' Fitzpatrick uses the
extended EP to it's fullest. The dub techno 'Sub Dubbed' marries harsh digital
sounds with familiar dub aesthetics but sidesteps the Basic Channel model and
delivers something which the producer has definitely made his own.
From the aggressively disorientating stabs of 'Redline' through to the sparse,
rolling tech-funk of 'Xenomorph' and 'En Salada', Fitzpatrick's distinctly
fever-dream feel runs throughout 'Insurgent Series' and, paired with his superb
approach to placing sounds in the mix, makes for compelling listening.
Even when losing the beats entirely, as in closer 'Lost and Found', Fitzpatrick
uses dark pads and spikey shaker hits to offset the flowing melodic leads. These
little touches really reach out and challenge, stopping any one mood from
comfortably settling..
