Sasu Ripatti links with the legendary Max Loderbauer (NSI., Sun Electric, MvO Trio) as Heisenberg for two knotty, complex riddim trips on his \"studio diary\" imprint. Adopting the mantle of the eponymous fictional meth chef*, the duo conduct fevered but controlled experiments in frayed, often frantic grooves eaten up with dissonant, freeform electronics. A-side is a 125bpm techno tunnel groove with offset bass hits embedded in a swarm of combustible modular chain reactions that dissolve to a gurgling breakdown and reassemble in freakier form. B-side is a full-pelt stepper operating at 90/180bpm like one of the early, hi-tempo Monolake or T++ aces amped to near orbit-breaking velocity. (*this cannot be confirmed or denied)
