199 is back with Exchange 02, the second release in a new series of digital club tools. Birrell & Front Bench push deeper into the sonic influences of the first EP, approaching the second with greater curiosity and edge.
The new 2-tracker hands Birrell his solo production debut on ‘Constructive Destruction’, a sizzling combination of 909 drums, relentless acid bass and robotic vocals, coordinated with flair beyond his experience. Front Bench’s ‘Let Me Just Tell You This’ is a smoky, atmospheric affair that rumbles towards saw-driven climaxes throughout its evolving 9 minutes.
Pairing wonky synths with crisp samples, the California-born, Berlin-based producer specializes in minimal house with a carefree spirit.
