Shuttle358 is the moniker of Californian producer Dan Abrams, a chap who clearly understands what 'sound art' should sound like. Back in the early-2000s he was forging ahead of most contemporaries working within electronica by releasing a stream of veritable statements of intent about the use of laptops as actual instruments, making beautiful, often serene tracks that felt resolutely human despite the kit they were made on being fundamentally non-organic.

Chessa picks up where he last left off, but then rockets into the stratosphere, living up to both artist and label name in the process. This isn't simply a case of getting back in the saddle, mind. Yes, we can safely say this is ambient territory. And the work does feel born from person, not machine. But things are more detailed and less stripped and pared back, offering bold nuances within his trademark spatial refrains.
