Hyper Real is Ital Tek’s first transmission for Civil Music. Four original tracks exploring footwork’s rhythmic palette, plus remixes from Deft and Throwing Snow. With 3 albums for Planet Mu to his name Alan Myson has been evolving his dextrous dancefloor electronica, techy IDM-driven dubstep, glitch-hop & post-dubstep forms for approaching a decade. Adept at shrugging off the constraints of genre identification, Hyper Real further reveals Myson’s stylistic slipperiness. Inspired by the febrility and tension/release of Chicago Footwork rhythms – and continuing where his recent long player for Planet Mu, ‘Nebula Dance’, left off – Hyper Real EP sees Ital Tek again morphing the rhythmic geometry around 160BPM and further advancing his instinctive, deep and melodic arrangements, dramatic drum work & impressionistic synths to make for one of the most engaging incursions to the footwork to date. Hyper Real is released on 4th Feb 2013 on Civil Music. 12” and Download.
