The second release on Kinnego comes from Space Dimension Controller, the techno funk alias of 19-year-old Jack Hamill. Following on perfectly from Boxcutter and Kinnego Flux's "A Familiar Sound" on KGO001, it features 2 tracks of deep, loved-up electro. Equally inspired by both the tape warped soundtrack to Garth Merenghi's Darkplace and early Aphex Twin, Jack's all-analogue production gives his tracks a timeless sound that’s a mile away from contemporary electro and house. The beats are low slung and funky, and the melodies are addictive and show a natural flair. On "The Love Quadrant", a girl / boy vocal exchange sets the scene while the track builds momentum, before the whole thing spaces off on a sweet minimoog solo. On the flip, "Electropod-250 Collision" has a deep 808 pulse and flanged bass, topped off with Detroit-inspired melodies and blurred out reverbs.
Hi-concept inter-dimensional disco-tronic fusions from Space Dimension Controller, aka Belfast's Jack Hamill. The young producer has created something quite special for the second release on Kinnego Records (run by Boxcutter and friends) taking cues from jazz-fusion inspired disco-house, electronica and perhaps a touch of the auld dubstep to create two gorgeous groovers with an uncannily well-defined character. A-side 'The Love Quadrant' contains the space-waif vocals of Kat Kirk over skweeed purple synths with distant keys and a grandly spacious atmosphere backed up by a story that we won't go into right now (you'll have to buy it to find out!), while the flipside takes a more abstract and dubbier option overidden by a uniquely odd sense of melody and harmony with a strange metallic sound sphere. Maybe the best way we could put it would be if Boxcutter met Black Devil Disco club for a session on Mir, and Buzz Aldrin recorded it from the next pod, it may sound like this. Check!!
