Mermaids

One Mermaids

This latest release from Hizatron and Bashley galvanises the usual ‘Wigflexian- gloop’ with a more industrial edge and a superb implementation of found sounds. A darker pallet underpins the record but this is inverted then lifted with inserts of scattered euphoria. Whilst all that is synonymous with the current face of techno lurks consistently in the background throughout, in an almost redemptive fashion, we are hoisted upward from a chromatic descent and set forth onto a crisp, bouncy path peppered with light. The depth of stereo field is utilised perfectly here and the use of dimension is something of a staple for all of those who call Wigflex home. Hizatron is known for his seamless arrangements, catchy melodies and punchy percussion and this record has that unquestionable ‘Tron swagger but the familiar sound is accelerated by new influences from Bashley who although a relatively unknown member of the family brings a fresh range of timbres that compliment Hiza’s signature grooves.
