nujumi Unlike some of the Bezirk Tapes releases, this record hooks the listener in much more directly. At first, the distorted grooves make the tracks more accessible, yet there is still the depth of listening and intensity of a unique and particular sound world that I have come to associate with Bezirk Tapes releases. like a more aggressive nobukazu takemura

about

IXTAB is a collaboration between
Blood Room (T. R. Matts) and ovis aurum (G. J. Geiler).

Recording Range and Locations:2014-2016. Austin, TX; Seattle, WA; Portland, OR; Vancouver, Canada; Coba Ruins, Yucatan Peninsula; Dartmoor, Devon, UK

Reviews:
"Stuttering beats and fluttering synths unsettle the traditional “Techno” tag, meaning that this isn’t its standard territory. And that’s most definitely a good thing. It’s an amazingly diverse electronic record that can stun and seduce in equal measure. These fangs live in a cave of a mouth that’s capable of a kiss as well as a bite. "
- A Closer Listen
