OLIVER HO’ S LABEL WIRES, RETURNS SOON WITH THE THIRD INSTALLMENT, “NOTHING EP”. THIS RELEASE SEES OLIVER PUSHING THE RAUDIVE SOUND INTO A DARKER AREA FEATURING INDUSTRIAL INFLUENCES WITHIN THE TECHNO GROOVES. THE EP STARTS OFF WITH “SHIVER”, FEATURING AN ORGAN DRONE OVERLAID WITH BURSTS OF RESONANCE AND FEEDBACK, WITH THE REPEATED VOCAL PHRASE, “THE SUN SETS INSIDE YOU”. NEXT COMES “NOTHING”. A STRANGE WOOD BLOCK SOUND RIDES OVER THE HEAVY GROOVE, WITH SYNTH STABS AND ECHOING VOCAL SOUNDS, IT IS RELENTLESS AND HYPNOTIC. WE CONTINUE WITH “SIGIL”, THE COMBINATION OF MONOTONE BASS AND SYNTH STABS WITH THE STRANGE PRIMAL MOAN PRODUCE A CREEPY GROOVE, -‘GOTHIC TECHNO’ MAYBE… FINALLY WE HAVE “DIAL”. THE LAST TRACK FINISHES THE EP OFF WITH HEAVY DRONES AND WHITE NOISE FEEDBACK, BRINGING TO MIND THE RELENTLESS TONES OF LOU REEDS METAL MACHINE MUSIC.
ALSO COMING SOON IS THE RAUDIVE REMIX OF CLEMENT MEYER’S “ONLY PROGRESS” ON GET THE CURSE RECORDS FROM PARIS.
