Cheetah EP

Sluggish drum machines and warm, vintage digital synthesizers. A patient, unhurried collection of hardware-focused grooves that trade chaos for hypnotic minimalism.

July 7, 2016 · Warp Records

A patient, hypnotic, and slightly nostalgic exploration of vintage digital limitations.

Moments Worth Listening For

The sluggish, almost reluctant bassline groove that opens CHEETAHT2 [Ld spectrum], setting a surprisingly patient and unhurried tempo for the EP.

The sudden, bright melodic synth line that cuts through the dense, repetitive sequence of CIRKLON3 [ Колхозная mix ] around the three-minute mark.

The brief, eerie digital sigh of CHEETA1b ms800, acting as a tiny, mechanical palate cleanser between the longer tracks.
