"Dissociative Events" emerges as a new chapter in the sonic odyssey of Lucas Reldnam, known by the enigmatic pseudonym, Clarence Rise.
This EP, like a finely woven tapestry, unravels an enthralling sonic narrative, commencing with the electrifying "Sleep Deprivation." An explosion of energy in the realm of downtempo, meticulously layering tension upon tension, crafting an intricate dance of rhythms that beckons without pretense.
"Ascending", a voyage into an ethereal domain, painted with an enigmatic synth stabs and the delicate sprinkle of melodic percussive stardust. The atmosphere gradually swells, whispering secrets in the wind as the track unfolds.
"Cold Idol", with its captivating halftime approach, invites you to dive deep into the recesses of your own psyche, where intricate rhythms and haunting pads dance to the relentless buzz of a pulsating bassline.
"False Self" is an enigmatic journey, a maze of repetitive echoes that ensnares you in its hypnotic grasp. Elements sneak and swirl, left to right, in a mesmerizing dance of sound and silence.
Finally, "Remedy" casts a shadow of disquiet, its oscillating melody weaving tales of uncertainty over a backdrop of tense pads. Set to a dense and electric 160 BPM pattern, it urges you to surrender to its persistent groove.
In the realm of music, "Dissociative Events" is a profound exploration of sonic landscapes, an unadorned testament to the creative spirit of Clarence Rise. It invites you to embark on a journey through rhythm and emotion, free from grandiosity, where each track whispers its own unique story in the universal language of sound.

Sound refraction that follows very varied paths, made possible by the remixes, which give account of sounds that are different from each other, but whose curatorship arranges them to form an exceptional whole. Magic, dance, darkness, depth, subtlety, sophistication. All of them elements that swirl together, delivering a must. Erick Gasca

I'm happy that i managed to snatch the last vinyl copy of this over at Juno today because this is some very nice, finely tuned Ambient that at times get sprinkled with fragmented D'n'B and Dub that floats around in sublime soundscapes.
Very highly recommended. Finn of Tomland
