Konduku returns to the Delsin Mantis series with an exciting double pack (Mantis 09 + 10) which dives deeper into his remarkable fractured rhythms and light-touch synthesis. Over the course of nine tracks Ruben Uvez straddles the space between introspective headphone trips and hypnotising dancefloor elegance, operating in a liminal zone of fluid tempos, submerged atmospheres and pointillist beats. It’s an open-ended but clear-sighted approach that aligns perfectly with the direction of the Mantis series. On Mantis 09 Uvez follows a progressive, patient arc of energy from the glassy chimes and pin-prick percussion of ‘Ozlem’ via ‘Scale’s reduced, atonal echo chamber and the half-time prowl of ‘Derinkuyu’ to the dense, humid pressure of ‘Swerve’. Restraint maintains throughout, even as we take in a broad spectrum of the Konduku sound.
