3849 is the identification number denoting a mutation of the rare condition that Dutch producer Guy Huijbregts suffers from. It also serves as his musical pseudonyme. Under it, he has released a vast catalogue that we’ve been following for years. After contributing to The Virgo Season compilation we put out last year, we are pleased to welcome Guy Huijbregts to our roster with his new EP, Raelyr.

As with most of Guy’s work to date, listening to the sophisticated sound-design practises and ever-evolving rhythmic variations on Raelyr might make you imagine a strange, crystal clear sonic maze, a cold and celestial place. 3849 is not afraid to take his time arranging the elements into an endless digital wormhole, in which even a focused listener is likely to get lost and found over and over again. On “z-rasii,” 3849 includes traces of his own voice, which might serve as the only evidence of human origin haunting this otherwise alien opus.
