Aerobic mystics, Joe McBride (Synkro), and Liam Blackburn (Indigo) aka Δkkord, present a slickly engrossing debut album for Fabric/Rob Booth’s Houndstooth label. The pair have been sneaking about producing some ultra slick, mad sounding techno’ish tunes under the Akkord moniker for the past year or so, and as you can expect from two artists of such high calibre, the sought-after white labels and their superb ‘Navigate’ EP instigated this self-titled 10-track record.

Apart from ‘Navigate”s title-track, the album will feature nine never-before-heard original productions which are said to “[blur] the lines between junglist revivalism, smoky ambience, and suctioned dub, with a consistently engaging pulse linking the styles.” As Boomkat said in their review, “over its ten tracks the genes of jungle, dubstep, techno and ambient electronics are spun out and re-encoded with razor-sharp grasp of spatial dynamics and rhythmic aptitude, presenting a perspective on 2013 warehouse sounds which conversely takes as much inspiration from the organic and pastoral as synthetic, man-made structures.”
