MDCCLXXII

Barcode: 880319830419 Bnjmn™s exceptional back catalogue, straddling gorgeous synth-laden house, experimental techno and textural ambient diversions, spans 2 LPs on key Dutch labels Rush Hour, and numerous Eps for Delsin, alongside 12''s on his own Brack imprint. The prolific British producer now follows up his recent ˜Droid' single on Delsin, which featured remixes from close colleagues Cassegrain and Ed Davenport's Inland alter-ego. Tipping his cap to 90s industrial techno, the A side delivers two uncompromising cuts. 'MDCCLXXII' is pacy and tough  brash drums merging with metallic, tonal signals and searing hats. 'Tor' is similarly up-tempo however more stripped in comparison, Bnjmn continuing his inventive and challenging sound design in this Beltram-esque bassline killer. The B side makes quite a contrast - 'T.E.N.S' being a short collage of buzzing, cerebral electronics, leading into 'Where The Wild Berries Grow'. It's a fuzzy, hypnotic trip stretching out over 8 minutes  a glistening blend of lo-fi ambience and post-club psychedelia, all the while keeping us locked into a padded 4/4 throb. 01 MDCCLXXII 02 Tor 03 T.E.N.S 04 Where The Wild Berries Grow
