Sub Zero

Yannick DAUBY March 21 New Taipei City.
After a long mixing day, I start discovering these sounds. Soothing, calming. In the middle of the album, 18:49, my computer screen oscillates, loudspeakers move slowly on their stands, a soft dizziness. Earthquake.

ES Absolutely love this album. I’ve been listening to it constantly as I write my podcast. The compositions are perfect. Creating just the right balance of moods and introspection. By far the best collection of ambience I’ve listened to this year. Favorite track: Alien.

about

"Just when you thought Kevin Richard Martin's music couldnt go any slower, lower or deeper, 'Sub Zero' emerges.

This slow motion, drug-tech, dream noise, dub excavation, into
hypnotic pulsations and melodic melancholia.
is arguably Martin's most striking release yet on his own Intercranial Recordings imprint.

Unnervingly, the album is as beautiful as it is
solemn, as glacial as it is relentless, and as subtle as it is terrifying. A trip into a sonic abyss, with a tour of a philosophical void, its to my ears, the most seductive yet for KRM, and also the most resonanantly moving, as he expertly balances tearjerk motifs with heavier than
hell, rhythmic weight.

With its melodic fog, eternal drones and eerie atmospherics, the peripheral throb of distant kick drums, the heartbeat punctuation of cavernous subs and the snowstorm blizzard of fuzz absolutely envelopes the mind, whilst crushing the soul.

If you look for precedents, this album maybe echoes a more paranoid Porter ricks, a dystopian GAS, or even a dubbed to f-ck Pansonic. Yet perhaps most apt, is it seems to go further into the deepest dubspace Martin explored on 'In Blue', his recent collab with Dis Fig for Hyperdub, as The Bug..."
