My one sentence summary of DJ Stingray half a decade ago would’ve been a vital continuation of the Underground Resistance / Drexciya school of Detroit Techno. While that assessment stands, here he’s really hit a more perplexing, hard to pinpoint place in electronic music production!

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not sound art, but within the sounds and spatial arrangement there’s an exciting, unpredictable and tense quality I’d associate with the alien sound of (white label era) UK Grime or the epic, uncanny synth-pop 12”s Sakamoto produced with Dolby and Sylvian.

I don’t think this is a typical reading of DJ Stingray’s INDUSTRY 4.0 EP, but I certainly hear these adventurous sounds more so than typical signifiers of industrial-in-techno. I’m not imagining the rave scene from The Matrix, not one bit. Positively brash, mystifying and abrasive trax! - Nic
