About this item

Dostrotime is Squarepusher-style fun. Heavy, intense, tear out experimental electronic music for the sheer exhilaration of it. Unapologetically, one for the Squarepunter Massive! In early 2020, Squarepusher had just released Be Up A Hello to huge acclaim, and was gearing up for a worldwide tour featuring some of his biggest shows to date. Then the pandemic hit, and it was all off… Devoid of distractions, naturally the artist headed to the studio to begin recording. He says that “[...]Without customary interruptions, time elapsed differently”. It’s an episode he’s dubbed “Dostrotime”. As such, Dostrotime is an attempt to capture the peculiarity of music catalysed by lockdown being part of the celebration of lockdown’s demise.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: A finely crafted suite of pummeling beats, gradually morphing sonic landscapes rendered in crystalline percussion and rolling, frenetic bass. It's Squarepusher we're talking about here, so it's not exactly 'The Best Of Brahms' but there's maybe a little *less* madness than usual? Maybe not. It's ace though.
