Tobor Rellik - Stationary Traveling (2025)

Tobor Rellik graces us with his first full-length excursion into softly muted insanity. The flavor-rich compilation of dance tracks and beyond leverages dissonance with mastery. Launching the compilation is a floaty-found sound reprise perfect for dialing in the tension in the atmosphere. Stripped-down serenades like Tapeworm and Lost Control hoover between resonating nightmare-fuel and future funk. Walking in Circles dials in the bass theatrics while keeping the blended sonic shimmers. Droppin Moms and Reverse polarity dial up the disorienting percussion with breakdowns into largely chaotic meshes of silliness and uncertainty. Merky Atmosphere is an absolutely bonkers late-night driver. Stubbled drum fills and high-intensity bass variations propel the later episodes of the album. Selective Memory harkens to early spectral releases with the same detail in the groove. Tobor Rellik has been a consistent contributor to the labeled evolution and this album perfectly encapsulates his recent evolution into a sonic force.
