Review: Russian producer Pixelord returns to Hamburg's Saturate! label after first appearing on a split release with Mad Decent character heRobust back in 2012. That was for STRT003 and eight years later in 2020 Pixelord finds his newest release catalogued at STRTEP082! It presents the artist's second release for the year following a limited cassette release with Sangam, and for this solo EP Saturate! brings with it remixes from Planet Mu's Starkey, Run Rad's DRANQ, and the mysteriously affiliated DJs Ride and Pound. Pixelord himself, though, turns five digital distortions of bass, glitch and neo-deconstructed industrial sonics, with a specific and unique power synth laced throughout this latest Saturate! edition. Find it appearing like a bad WIFI connection in "BFG" or as call and response to the bassline in "Pain Elemental". Furthermore, see it tearing across the sweet melodies and bit graded chip tunes of "Bonus Stage" to its role as a counterpart to the effervescent trance synths in "Doomguy". Wild style in "Demonslayer" no doubt too. Beware.
