With his Persistence of Visions EP, DE:MA presents 3 rolling Dub-Breakbeat (is that a thing? It is now!) tracks ready for the open, peak and close of your night.
Persistence of Visions, a murky warm-up tune, features warm swinging beats that provide space for ricocheting percussion, dragging dancers into a stoned sway and steady head-bop.

*Memory Bank*, the second track, is more up-tempo and wouldn’t sound out of place in a Djrum set or on Burial’s USB stick. Tight percussion zips back and forth while ethereal pads and sound design hum through the mix to dramatic effect.*Blue Champagne* is the most upbeat of the three. Shuffling high-hats keep the subtly broken beat chugging away steadily. An uplifting key change half way through offers a glimpse into a potentially euphoric “I love you man” moment, before plummeting back to the depths from whence it came.On remix duties are three artists offering their own interpretation of *Blue Champagne*.6ISS’s is distortion-heavy with industrial elements which ploughs on but can feel convoluted at times where the sounds stack up.The second, from Nothing is Real, introduces the first 4/4 kick drum in the EP.\
It fits into the bracket of head-down Industrial Techno as it pounds alongside swirling glitches and extra-terrestrial sound effects.\
\
PETRU offers another four to the floor excursion, with spacious percussion that rattles in unison with ye olde kick & high-hat combo that is commonplace to this type of peak-time Techno.\
