Denise Rabe is back with a frantic industrial EP, Blame Me, via the Arkham Audio imprint. The aggressive techno release reflects her early influences from hip hop, drum 'n' bass and jungle, mixing heavy drums and tribal percussive rhythms with gritty industrial drones, arpeggiated sirens and machine fx for a dark and hard-hitting experience. The release perfectly embodies Arkham Audio's signature sound that focuses on driving, club-ready industrial techno.
The EP begins with the title track 'Blame Me', which blends a frenzy of raw percussion, rough noise textures and an ever-evolving alarming sweep that builds tension throughout the track. The release follows with '1394', a darker, rhythm-heavy tune with electrical buzz and mechanical hiss that groans, creaks and moans. 'Dosing Off' is the most melodic and minimalistic track of the EP, with a mellow, ambient lead pulsing over sweeping noise pads and sparse drums.
The release features a remix for each of the three original tracks, the first being Advent's groovy interpretation of 'Blame Me', which brings in dub chords to replace some of the industrial hits and drones. The second remix is from TWR72 for '1394', which adds tribal drums and textures for an upbeat, dancefloor-ready track. The final track is an upbeat, pulsing remix of 'Dosing Off' from Arkham Audio label owner Cri Du Coeur himself.
Denise Rabe's 'Blame Me EP' will be released via Arkham Audio on September 2nd, 2022.
