Over a recording career that has spanned twelve years and around 35 releases, Bristol producer October finally releases a full length album, on Swedish techno imprint Skudge. On Black Body Radiation he shows a new dimension to his sound, forgoing the bass influenced techno he’s usually associated with for more of a retro and EBM influenced sound. “Black Narcissist” features a gritty funk bass preset going toe to toe with the pounding groove of a rusty analogue rhythm and soaring guitar feedback. “Body Chant” or “Transient Bodies” are the kind of tough nu-new wave workouts similar to that of Broken English Club or Tzusing. The late night industrial groove of “Slow Release” in particular, is our favourite. Elsewhere, there’s some seriously reductionist dub techno, like on “Blood Feud” and some lush beatless atmospherics such as on the closer “Syrup”.
