Emptyshell

Emptyshell makes her debut on the label with ‘The Same Dream’. Remix support comes from label head, Selective Response. Something of a mystery still, Emptyshell is taking her very first steps into the production world and we are incredibly proud to be able to offer her a platform, but if her recent bootleg of Andrew Bayer and Matt Lange’s ‘In and Out of Phase’ is anything to go by, she has a big future ahead of her. In original form, ‘The Same Dream’ is a tough drum workout with spoken word samples and icy granular FX. Overdriven 909s and skippy percussion form the foundation on which helter-skelter sonics and icy sweeps keep your feet firmly stomping on the dance floor. For the remix, So Cal’s Selective Response toughens the groove even more. Industrial and uncompromising, the sparse groove quickly becomes hypnotic with only a moment of respite between each energy increase. The main break intensifies again leading to carnage at the drop. Pure face melt.
