It’s tough to count how many excellent producers are making dark,
unsettling dance music right now. Andy Stott, the Haxan Cloak, and Forest Swords
all have tremendous full-length records that you shouldn’t listen to
when walking alone at night, and that’s just scratching the surface of
the deep rosters at Tri Angle, Blackest Ever Black, and Modern Love. But
if there’s one group that has absolutely dominated this sound, it’s
Demdike Stare. The duo of Miles Whittaker and Sean Canty got attention
back in 2010 with the colossal triple-CD Tryptych, a 2 1/2 hour sprawl of intoxicatingly creepy dub-techno, and followed it with last year’s equally great Elemental.
Since then Demdike Stare has pulled focus a bit and started the
Testpressing series. They’re simple stripped down things — vinyl only
releases with just an A-side and a B-side, no artwork, no real title —
yet inside is some of the most exciting music the group has ever done. This December they’ll put out the fourth installment in the series and you can watch an ominous excerpt.
