Open edition
HEDO HYDR8 is back with the second instalment of their IDENTITY SAMPLER trilogy.
The series continues with IDENTITY SAMPLER II, a heady 2-tracker, featuring a cheeky devil-may-care remix by Miss Jay. On IDENTITY SAMPLER II, HEDO HYDR8 ventures into experimental territory via ‘Adult Sorrows’ and visits their high-energy breaks on ‘Analyze, reproduce’.
‘Analyze, reproduce’ is a fierce breakbeat track, designed to tear through the fabric of any stale jungle set. The track cycles ambivalently between serene arps and a harrowing synthlead, taking sonic inspiration from oldschool IDM, while keeping a razor sharp focus on the dancefloor.
‘Adult Sorrow’ combines impressions of noise, ambient, trance and musique concrete. The track could have been a transmission from an akira-like dystopian metropolis, in a parallel universe.
With it's heavy noise, abrasive trancelead and hi-fi racebike samples combined with hauntological housechords, ‘Adult Sorrow’ makes for both a unique set opener and a deep listening experience.
Miss Jay does her thing on the remix, taking ‘Analyze, reproduce’ into her cheeky and modern bass-drop universe.
IDENTITY SAMPLER is HEDO HYDR8s trilogy exploring the genre identities shaping HEDO HYDR8’s work.
