INNATE 002 12″

In 2018, Innate unveiled its debut release – four varied slabs of deep electronic music from a mix of unsung heroes and underground stalwarts. The label’s second release naturally treads a similar path, offering a trio of cuts that champion futurist electronic music – shot through with warmth, humanity and machine soul.

Heading up the A-side, Bristol veteran ‘A Sagittariun’ shines through with “Proof” – an altogether deeper affair than much of his forthright and intense output, with ghostly lead lines, melancholic electronics and spacey chords stretching out across a bustling groove: rich in hazy analogue bass and crunchy machine drums.

Side B is led by key Innate family member ‘Gilbert’. “Polynoid” is another impressive outing with ear-catching riffs, acid lines and melodic movements rising and falling above a wonderfully retro-futurist, Chicago-influenced groove. Accompanied by “Our Love For Music” from Final Chapter boss and sometime Rawax contributor ‘Sean Dixon’. Intergalactic tones combine the widescreen vision of Detroit’s early pioneers with the jacking, sweat-drenched percussive intensity of Chicago’s finest.
