Notes.
Fresh from his remix on the Wood & Wire release from kučka, Sydney-based DJ & Producer fm presents his debut EP titled Buttons. Utilising drum machines, synthesisers, effects units & samplers, fm creates unashamedly synthetic electronica – an aural discolouration with 16-bit splashes and industrial misfires.
“new, new-wave electronics, adorable synths and enough of a reinvigorating style to help define an original, chilled set … an awesome debut.”
A Closer Listen
“The Buttons EP floats in, a ghostly decaying voice looped atop shimmering synths and fuzzed out beats. Drawing vocal samples from hip-hop and R&B, fm screws, chops, loops and echoes them atop catchy minimalist hooks and melodies. It falls somewhere on a spectrum of contemporaries like Balam Acab, Hype Williams, or fellow Sydneysiders Albatross.”
The Thousands
“feels like computer music, made by a computer, when coming home to seduce another computer, which as an end product is weirdly alluring”
