#1503 Rabbitbass - Rabbitbass EP

There's so much to like here, it's a shame its ruined by leaning on some of the worst recent trends in electronic music. The triple-title-track has a freaky breakdown and some bursty synth lines, but they're stitched together with a grabbag of dubstep cliches and airhorns. AIRHORNS.

Things get delightfully choppy, downright Prefuse, but at every turn pointless wobbles and slurs shit in the salad. Closing track Relation nearly escapes intact, weaving the kind of childlike glitch-and-skip you could see a more innocent Aphex Twin ginning up, but airdropped Squarepusher squiggles wither out of place. Plenty of potential if this guy (?) ever finds his own voice 2.5/5
