T-Flex: No Comment (DINAMPLATZ)

According to the blurb, T-Flex started his career in 2019 all cerebral and brain-thinky. Sounds like hard work. After a contemplative ambient start on this debut album, he’s clearly stuck a pair of dancing shoes to his brain. Flowing electronic beats meet filtered bass bubbles, tight junglist rhythms glide along understated ebbing and flowing chords, squirrelly Squarepusher acid lines waltz drunkenly with skittering Amen breaks.

The highlight is Way You Are, a giddy and addictive tribute to 808 rave. This is one of several retro touchpoints, including some significant head-nods towards Metalheadz. Very nearly made my Top 10, and will be many people’s number ones. Made all the better for the presence of Tim Reaper and Datassette remixes.
