A second release on Planet Mu this year, ‘Dream On’ is more of an album proper for experimental House musician Ital (aka Daniel Martin-McCormick) - more substantial than the acclaimed ‘Hive Mind’. You get the heady, dreamy feel of house, cut with dub’s smeared sound palatte and an understanding of the power of distortion honed from years working in DIY and noise on the East Coast US.
On ‘Dream On’ Ital takes his experimentation with classic dance music templates further, creating impressionistic tracks out of the tropes of early house and techno. Sunny chords, laid back drum shuffle and rhythmic vocal loops are picked apart and threaded with distotion, textural roughness and dissonance, while developing the dancefloor potential with Ital's recent live show expreience.
