Holotrope’s Darkshire Sound debut moves through three shades of dark, club-focused drum & bass. The title track, made with A-Cray, pairs sharp neurofunk design with distorted vocal fragments; “House Of Dreams,” featuring Karpa, breaks its frenetic charge with a brief, haunting melodic interlude.
Karpa also joins Holotrope for “Converted,” whose gritty sound design and more danceable, jump-up-leaning momentum give the EP a surprisingly buoyant finish.
