Central Processing Unit
Played by: Juno Recommends Electro
Review: Eddie Symons' impressive streak at Central Processing Unit continues with Recursor, his fourth release on the Sheffield label in just five years. This six-track EP blends precision-engineered machine-funk grooves with an overarching sense of grace. From the opening number, with its Drexciyan punch, needle-gun bassline, and eerie synth washes, to the mid-paced introspection of "Pulsar" and the nervy, neurotic energy of "Phase Function" - NULLPTR draws from Detroit electro's golden age. Still full of the artist's own freshness, there's laser-guided bassline to lock on in "Seil" alongside the playful, erratic bass on "Stone Tape." "Portal" aptly takes us out of hyperspace on a deep ice cold tip.

Review: Following the release of his debut album on Detroit Underground back in 2016, Eddie Symons aka Nullptr now drops an EP for the seminal Central Processing Unit. With its wiry, skeletal rhythm and unsettling synths, "LPC-10" sets the tone for the release. "Polytopes" is slower and more atmospheric, while the title track sees Nullptr veer into a Drexciyan netherworld that is populated by rumbling bass and queasy tonal shifts. Drawing on another key influence from the electro canon, Symons drops the ERP-sounding "Skyline" - although it is somewhat less reflective than Gerard Hanson's alter ego - before returning to the same familiar ground as "LPC-10" with the eerie synths and paranoid warbles of "Mothership".

Review: Andriy Vezdenko's Noumen project has been a core element of the success and growth of the Central Processing Unit label. The multi-talented producer, who is said to often branch out into design and research, clearly places a lot of care and attention into the construction of sounds, and is one of the few who can truly claim to be involved in acoustic design. After a recent debut EP, Apeiron is his first album to drop, and it's one of those releases which can hardly be described in words. The names of Autechre and Leftfield instantly spring to mind, but Noumen has a singular way of reinterpreting the glitch and IDM genres, mixing it up with a whole array of more contemporary influences. From bass to techno, that is how the disorderly electronica of Apeiron comes to life across eleven tunes and, although one would not immediately associate this sort of sound to the club, these tracks are very much playable in front of a crowd of open-minded dancers. A daring and intriguing piece of work from the newcomer.

Review: In his formative years, Neil Landstrumm was a huge fan of "Yorkshire bleep and bass", the sparse, sub-heavy style of techno that emerged from the North of England at the tail end of the 1980s. He's paid tribute to it in his music on many occasions, though never in as concentrated a way as found on this fantastic EP for Chris Smith's brilliant CPU imprint. For proof, check the aggressive electronics, Xon style melodies and "LFO" sub of opener "The Tomorrow People", the early Orbital style "bleep and breaks" of "Chrome and Ferric", the deep space brilliance of "Sahara" (which our resident bleep nerd compared favourably to Robert Gordon's legendary remixes of Cabaret Voltaire's "Easy Life") and the mind-altering late night sleaze of closer "The Chemical Con".
