Bloom makes his much awaited return with an EP of convulsive mechanoid dancefloor compositions.The Belfast-based producer left his mark on instrumental grime back in 2012 with his breakthrough single "Quartz". Bloom pushed the eski template set out by Wiley to new extremes with "Quartz"'s cacophony of sirens, gunshots and square-waves, while leaving space for further exploration. With his Maze Temple EP in 2013 and a remix of Toyc's "Keyframe", Bloom has continued to be at the forefront of a new wave of post-Classical Curves mechanistic experimental dance music.After an 18-month hiatus, Bloom is back with an EP for Bristol's Crazylegs that realises the untapped potential of "Quartz". Hydraulics is the soundtrack to a sentient robotic production line, a not-so-distant dystopian future in which human labour is made altogether redundant. "Vessel", the track we're premiering today, seems to hint at this organic/synthetic conflict. It's the only track on the EP that uses a vocal sample, an unsettling gasp that could just as equally be someone's dying breath as it could it be their first.Hydraulics is out November 10th digitally and on 12" vinyl.
