AI—F launches with its inaugural release in the form of a taut three tracker from label boss Løt.te.

‘A Lattice of Virtually Identical Nodes’ takes its name from mesh networks, and explores the use of mobile technology and meshnets as a communication tool during recent anti-government protests in Hong Kong and elsewhere.

‘Hülya’s Eye’ is a tense, syncopated stepper that keeps the pressure at maximum throughout with immense sub bass and high-pitched digital static stretching the frequency domain as far as it can go. Samples from various protests and films provide context for the unrelenting tension, while the hyper-digital sound palette points to the growing role that technology is playing on the streets where the oppressed resist power-hungry governments and their henchmen.

‘Tunnel Under the Base Station’ is a dirtier, grimier affair that sounds like a rugged hi-tech engine hurtling through earth deep below the surface with steady and unstoppable force. While the elastic sound design and the syncopated hi-hats induce claustrophobia, the tribal percussion and the epic synth lead pry the space open, creating an impossible sense of space and time.

‘Eavesdropping Guoanbu Agent’ takes the elastic synthesizers and metal clangs away from the dance floor to a much darker, seedier place. Rhythmic synths converse with iron rods (dragged across the basement floor), growling frame drums, and wooden percussion played with force and urgency. The horns that arrive around the 5 minute mark release the tension while expanding the emotional scope of the closer.

‘A Lattice of Virtually Identical Nodes’ charts an exciting new course for Løt.te's sound, bringing together his hyper-textured technoid sound design with an appetite for breaking free from the confines of techno's familiar rhythmic structures.
