Altered Zones

Our boy down south, Deptford Goth, returns briefly ahead of his debut EP for Merok (slated for later this year) in order to drop about a million ideas on the chirpy, cut and paste electro-pop of "The End Of Time" by Computer Magic. Proving himself almost as good and intriguing a remixer as he is a songwriter, here Goth pitch-twists the pretty but straight-up vocals of the original until they're sinister in their pixie-like innocence. The mutation is then dipped deep in a dream-- glacial synth strobes, mysterious low-end rumble, bracing thunderclap drum snaps, and some lost harp twills come together with an unlikely and beautiful seamlessness. --Jack Shankly, Transparent
