Their EPs explore rhythmically intricate realms, but they still retain that 'machine' aesthetic which is paramount to the Downwards 'sound'.
Their first EP on Downwards 'Accidents In The Workplace' is a solid metallic affair that wouldn't sound out of place in a Robert Hood DJ set. Minimal, subtle rhythmical changes and very dancefloor friendly.
Their two follow up EPs 'HAAS' and 'Imbecile' meanwhile, differ from their debut in that they investigate a more textural approach to rhythms. Off kilter, off beat & almost off the wall, the tracks on these EPs always leave me struggling in the mix. They almost verge on the abstract, but somehow retain a coherent dancefloor appeal that is synonymous with Downwards and its cohorts.
I've yet to purchase their LP, but I can't wait to get my grubby mitts on it.
