Notes.<\/strong>
\nFresh from his remix on the\u00a0Wood & Wire release from ku\u010dka<\/a>, Sydney-based DJ & Producer\u00a0fm\u00a0<\/strong>presents his debut EP titled\u00a0Buttons<\/em>. Utilising drum machines, synthesisers, effects units & samplers,\u00a0fm<\/strong>\u00a0creates unashamedly synthetic electronica \u2013 an aural discolouration with 16-bit splashes and industrial misfires.
\n\u201cnew, new-wave electronics, adorable synths and enough of a reinvigorating style to help define an original, chilled set \u2026 an awesome debut.\u201d<\/em>
\nA Closer Listen<\/a>
\n\u201cThe Buttons EP floats in, a ghostly decaying voice looped atop shimmering synths and fuzzed out beats. Drawing vocal samples from hip-hop and R&B, fm screws, chops, loops and echoes them atop catchy minimalist hooks and melodies. It falls somewhere on a spectrum of contemporaries like Balam Acab, Hype Williams, or fellow Sydneysiders Albatross.\u201d<\/em>
\nThe Thousands<\/a>
\n\u201cfeels like computer music, made by a computer, when coming home to seduce another computer, which as an end product is weirdly alluring\u201d<\/em>
\nSonic Masala<\/a>
