- Visionist's stellar Lost Codes imprint has been traversing the same terrain as recent efforts by Keysound—namely, tapping into a new generation of UK producers who are channeling the best of grime and dubstep into hard-hitting dance music. Irish producer Bloom fits well among this group. He marries grime's bone-dry slam with its melodic, playful side, which was especially evident on last year's "Quartz." His debut for Lost Codes retains this sensibility.
It's hard to tell if "Maze Temple" is joyous or violent. The hard-nosed rhythms, cut sharp and severe, feel deadly serious, but the bleeping sounds that blurt out like popping water balloons are almost comical. Visionist's hard-as-diamond remix throws humour out the window, coating the snares in toxic dust and simplifying the track into a bludgeoning weapon. "Juniper" drops off heavily filtered chords into dead silence, luring you into free fall between every bar before pushing back up again with hard-panned drums. "Zing Panther" is cut from the same cloth, this time on a stuttering beat more wood than metal, but it's got the same mix of slamming rhythms and chirpy beeps.
