Altered Zones

Maximillion Dunbar crafts a blend of stargazing ambience and oceanic disco in his recent Soundcloud post, "Peeling An Orange In One Piece." The Future Times all-star and Beautiful Swimmer peels back the rind gracefully on this essential cut from his DJ set. There is ample head room for the lilting pentatonic arpeggiations of the synthesizers, the celestial pads of the electronic strings, and the glacial syrup of the muted bass to harmoniously coexist. Even the sprinkle of a metallic rainstorm and the baritone moans of its MIDI orchestra around the two-minute mark can't disturb the peace. The contrast is a welcome surprise and would never threaten to interrupt this contemplative, blissful funk. --Matt Sullivan, Altered Zones via The Fader
