Esem delivers his debut for Merck, SERIAL HUMAN, a blend of IDM glitchiness and Detroit techno influences. Right from the first track, “Tjiccli,” there’s a melodic sense reminiscent of the Black Dog mixed with the crisp staccato rhythms that modern IDM is known for; “Bleece,” on the other hand, sets the reverb on high and lets the echoes bounce off each other. “Swift Urban Departure From What Was Once An Innocent Soul” (a long-winded title, to be sure) speeds up into breaks territory for a ride with a digital assassin, while “Sofiatram as I Hear It” is the ricketiest trolley system I’ve ever heard. “Square Lamp” layers its drum ‘n’ bass with an instrumental ode beamed in from outer space. “Outburst Nue” and “Kyes Ivrload” both thrum with darkness and suppressed aggression. Futuristic and fabulous.
