Temudo - Shapeless (2024)

Temudo follows 2019's Do Nothing And Be Wrong album with this expansive follow-up. The title track's tribal drums and textured dub soundscapes is redolent of Oliver Ho's early techno work. In contrast, "D Is For Dissonance" has a more contemporary flavour. Based on a dense rhythm, it features hypnotic, tranced out melodies. "Rap Over This" sees Temudo go down a visceral path, as harsh percussion is merged with claustrophobic drums. It's only a temporary divergence though; in the main Shapeless has an esoteric undercurrent. "The Ecosystem Track" and "The Zone" are both lean tribal workouts that show Temudo is one of the most accomplished modern techno producers.
