From the studio of a producer who you’ll be hearing a lot more of in the not too distant future: vacated; comes this hard headspace hue of sound.

Returning to the studio after a leave of absence, with renewed and revitalised interest, vacated is really carving out a great aural construct. Moving his sound into drone resplendent dark fragmentary techno; his first offering was the Borley EP. The origins of the producer behind vacated lying in the breakbeat scene of yesteryear.

His Borley EP was self-released back in April (and up for free downloading). Our initial introduction to his work at Darkfloor was his track Borley 1937 which we dropped on Mantis Radio back in March. It got a great reaction then, and Boogie Times, likewise, got a great reaction on last night’s Mantis Radio broadcast with Dimentia.

Clanking, dirty, grinding, industrially soaked, feedback enhanced darkness. All perfectly acceptable words to describe his sound. Boogie Times is more drawn out than his earlier EP release with more the undercurrent of catacomb crypt doom worked in deeper and further. Sublimely disturbed.

Don’t forget to grab his debut.

And, finally, grab his mix for Laica’s Number Broadcast from May.
