Upfront 004: Synkro

Genre-hopping specialist Synkro has made a habit of scrambling pre-existing patterns and rearranging those codes until new deviants emerge. His initial amble into music introduced us to his Rastaman skank tendencies on dubstep labels like Smokin’ Sessions and Dubbed Out. Since those embryonic stages, his grip has been firmly clenched around a wide range of tempos - from ‘intelligent’ drum and bass to ethereal soundscapes - with an obsession for well-measured sound design and negative space.
Then there’s Akkord, the collaboration Synkro has with longtime friend, Indigo. Picked up by Houndstooth, the pair blurred smoky ambiance with infectious dub to critical acclaim on their debut, eponymous project. His latest body of work Transient EP is up for pre-order via Apollo Records, the fledgeling sister division of era-defining techno and house dons, R&S Records. Most notably inspired by the artist’s recent move from Manchester back to the pastoral environs of his childhood home in Derbyshire.
For 40-odd minutes, the Mancunian meanders through a treasure trove of unheard upcoming cuts from himself and friends, like Djrum, Consequence and Seers - enter this week’s Upfront.

@@AMEHZ1 Truth.
What you thought I only listened to Synthwave? Pfft James, James my boy. You of all people should know me better by now. I just spent the last 31 days listening to nothing but WitchHouse and Dark Synth/Horrorsynth for my annual 31 days of October. Been listening to old 90s and early 2000 DnB & Jungle for the past 2 days. I really do live by this name.
Edit: I edited my comment so many times because of errors LOL.
