(ENDE308) Dark Matter Project - Part Three: Confinement

The third and final release in Dark Matter Project's Blade Runner themed Cyberpunk 2021 trilogy after "The Brutalist" and "Replicants" and a closing companion for those who want to ride the entire trilogy in one sitting.

This album continues on the darkstep nightmare trip that DMP is famous for but pulls back the heavy breakbeats for some scattered two step, randomised machine noises and bare pads. At times relaxing it is by no means a chilled out affair.

On opener "Human Error" Deep kicks punch through heavily effected robotic pads with the occasional malfunctioning machine sounds as secondary rhythms. Breaks are still at times on full frontal display such as on the title track "Confinement", "The Lighthouse (After Midnight Version)" and the breakbeat smothering overdrive of "Home"

Dark Matter Project explores new universes in drum n bass but still utilises the traditional tropes such as thick heavy reese bass and minimalist meta-melodies. Except on "Confinement" they're used more as decoration than essential accompaniments to give the beats and hypnotic rhythms centre stage in the pantomime of agoraphobia.

It's not a totally cold 2021 future cyberpunk affair however. "Concrete Jungle" and "This Thing" invokes the natural rhythms of South American jungles around him with traditional percussions and a looped, hypnotic, overdriven bass drop.

As a trilogy. Dark Matter Project has shown a progression far beyond what any of us thought possible after his early releases at ENDE and Sunhole Records but he has used the downtime of 2020 and 2021 and the surrounding political upheaval and tension of his home and surroundings to take inspiration and really push himself to define a sound only hinted at by producers in the past.

yeah we know this was already released on ENDE but it all has to be part of THE TRILOGY!!! so we put it up again in order.
