Review: Setaoc Mass is best known for his tough, uncompromising dance floor techno, but he brings a range of other flavours to bear on his debut album. "Fall Within" and "Before You Go, Let Me Say One Thing" are dreamy, downtempo tracks, while "A Nod To Bryn" sees him veer into the type of glitchy electronics more commonly associated with Warp. The album also sees Setaoc Mass experiment with drum'n'bass, an approach that yields the ghostly textures and brooding sub-bass of "Marching in March". There are some nods to his signature techno sound; especially on the rolling broken beats of "Witness", but in the main, Horror Vacui is a deeply rewarding, experimental affair.
