The collaborative eMMplekz project between Baron Mordant and Ekoplekz ran itself ragged from 2012-2016 and yielded some of their most satisfying work for the Mordant Music label -the Baron had finally found his voice in a skip behind Poundland and let hisfetid alphabet loose across Ekoplekz’s mouldy electronic battlefield...lyrical Escher abstractions married to Cy Twombly soundscapes at a time when maybe only the Sleaford Mods were harrowing similar ground, albeit more commercially...the project bowed out ona low high with the ‘Rook to TN34’ album and the “Cheers mate, bye” lyric pinging off every surface...In 2022 with that still naggingly in mind the Baron set out on reframing ‘Gloomy Leper Techno’ in some different shades and the resulting ‘MMongrel versions’ were picked up by Castles in Space for this 12” vinyl release..
