Electronica artist and producer Alix Perez shares his latest long player, Entanglements. Building on a now long career's worth of extra-poured-over drum & bass beatscapes - mainly operating in the liquid, atmospheric and modern ends of the genre - Entanglements riffs on the selfsame formula: going deeper and deeper into the sonic possibilities yieldable from the two-stepping, sloshing sound he's known best for. From the jump, we're met with a title track that melds lumbering, industrial rhythms with more effortless, blossomy serenities, pegged by a mumbly piano, filtery vocal and licky snare. The ensuing tracks duck and weave through continually entangled emotions, moving away from liquid's basic attachment to "emotion" and into a set of more greyscale, mottled, overdetermined, dubious feelings, such as 'R2R' (which echoes ragga and dub) and 'Dark Pulse' (which amps up the elastic, rubber-band bass to the toothiest degree, producing an equally aggressive and tearful track).
