Venetian Snares - Your Face (2015)

Master of the absurd and mind-shreddingly complex, Aaron Funk is back following his My Love Is A Bulldozer album for Planet Mu back in 2014. Considering how prolific he has been at times, this has been a recent quiet patch but the glorious racket of "Your Face When I Finally" puts paid to the peace with a fine display of the infinitesimal production style he made his name on. From lopsided time signatures and bewitching melodies to disgusting splats of noise and puerile sampling, noone manages to chuck everything in the pot with the same panache as Venetian Snares. There are calm moments, focused moments and utterly insane moments, representing a fine example of everything the sonic madman stands for.
