Subsphere Review of Wellenkammer / Delusion (DFA001)

One of the rare victories of composition over production was recently achieved by Double Helix, whose debut single on Deep Field Audio is a fine example of the Austrian producer’s skill in modern electronic chamber music. Consequently, the two tracks take up the delicate vibe of a rather furioso string quartet and melt it with the raw Neurofunk energy the likes of Ed Rush and early Noisia – influences that become apparent in the pounding assets of Wellenkammer with its variations on a classic half-tone theme and especially on the more laid-back groove pressure flipside Delusion, which sounds a bit like Brain Bucket’s baby brother. I said composition over production, because unlike most electronic music out there, Double Helix’s premier oeuvre is not solely relying on its thickness but offers a great deal of structural and compositional variety, or in other terms: just the right amount of movement. So if you’re into organic basses and techy drive, but not especially keen on the forceful cracking of your precious ear bones, you will most likely enjoy both sides of this appetizing debut.
