Why Don't You Change / Dub Man Walking

Stroboscopic Artefacts? first vinyl release is an incendiary two track EP. Label founder Lucy gives us a visionary blueprint for the future Stroboscopic Artefacts releases, etching out the soundtrack for an apocalyptic club scenario. Out of the A-side?s dark, pulsing beats and itchy baselines, a granular voice rises up. Krishnamurti?s rasping vocal cuts through, creating a colossal techno track. Amid resonant piano samples and utopian 60s strings, a crystalline question emerges: ?Why Don?t You Change?? In the middle of a hazy, overcrowded dance floor this peak-time guerrilla track hints at a moment of epiphany. On the B-side ?Dub Man Walking?, Lucy?s dub-roots background collides with his techno identity. The heavy drum machine structure is injected with obsessive dubby baselines and intersected by high frequency distortion. The track floats, the elements never fully solidify, instead they surge forward becoming ever more urgent.[was]Side A plays at 33 ? RPM, Side B at 45 RPM. [discogs]
