BLNDR - Fluid System

  • Share
  • Paris-based BLNDR has kept a pretty even keel so far. His techno is spooling in an otherworldly kind of way: the mood is often sinister, the pace set viscously slow. But whether it's deep and dubby, driving or gurgling with acid abstractions, the music's strong magnetism never ceases to impress. Fluid System is BLNDR's second release on the reasonably new label Annulled, after he inaugurated it with a five-tracker back in 2014. This time we're treated to two originals and two remixes, a package of icy, atmospherically-charged meditation material. Fluid System is a zone-out record. Even the remixes, from Refracted and Mod21, remain true to the originals' dark tunnelling effects. A cool wind billows through Mod21's version of the title track, sounding like a ghoulish moan, while Refracted adds dance floor oomph and the incessant rattle of deadwood to his. But neither reach the kind of eerie depths that make "Inlet Gauge" especially shine.
