Brighton producer Ital Tek has released a new mini-album on the renowned record label Planet Mu. Titled ‘Control’, this latest offering diverges from Ital Tek’s previous work and delves deeper into the dance genres of footwork and drum and bass. Drawing inspiration from the iconic ‘Bangs and Works’ compilations on the label, the title track pays homage to the distinctive skittering footwork percussion, while infusing a hypnotic quality reminiscent of Flying Lotus. This captivating blend of influences is further emphasized in ‘Violet’, where Ital Tek’s production evokes a woozy atmosphere akin to that of Flying Lotus.
Furthermore, ‘Fireflies’ takes a creative approach by incorporating washes of synth vocals similar to those found in the works of Oneohtrix Point Never. Ital Tek skillfully layers these haunting vocals over a rhythmic framework, integrating elements of footwork and drum and bass. The resulting effect is both intriguing and mesmerizing, showcasing his ability to merge different elements of electronic music seamlessly. Ital Tek’s ‘Control’ mini-album undoubtedly demonstrates his artistic evolution and solidifies his position among notable contemporary producers in the genre.
