High Mobility Weapons Unit Transverse Velocity EP

High Mobility Weapons Unit sets off from an unknown location on Earth, making its maiden voyage beyond our solar system and towards a distant galaxy. The 'Transverse Velocity EP' is the debut release on the self-titled imprint, serving up four original tracks that are heavily influenced by mechanical cycles and deep space concepts.
The A-Side kicks off with the EP's title track 'Transverse Velocity', where an array of eroded satellite bleeps and waves loop together as the analogue low-end pulsates rhythmically below. In 'Wave 102' the bleeps are detuned and erratically timed, with a glitchy tape delay unit modulating them throughout the track. The saturated 808 kick drum and processed percussion are given a functional structure, allowing the bleeps to take centre stage. On the B-Side, both 'Cycle 01' and 'Astronomy Tool' serve as stripped-back percussive DJ tools. 'Cycle 01' rolls along with its hollow, muted polyrhythmic stab line, whilst 'Astronomy Tool' drives forward with an effective, crystalline synth hit.
