Milyoo - Biogram

  • Share
  • Kentucky artist Milyoo is one of those producers who seems perpetually stuck in the borderlands of genre, making appealing, accessible and highly precise bass music that's too experimental to work as conventional electronic dance music but too structured to be anything else. A flurry of activity this year has him constraining his impulses in a house framework, a look that works surprisingly well. Perhaps the most straight-up house of any of his new releases, "Biogram" sees release on the fledgling West Norwood Cassette Library label, adding another notch into Londoner Bob Bhamra's similarly mongrel array of influences. "Biogram" is as prickly and volatile as any other Milyoo production, shards of digital distortion and fuzz catching in its brittle metallic march, as his trademark gasping vocal samples spill out in a choked jumble. With bursts of swooping, aerial attack strings and a particularly throaty diva sample, "Biogram" begins to dream of rave history in its second half, an emotional and nostalgic directive also employed on his recent Kazuadon EP. Label head West Norwood Cassette Library provides a remix on the flip, basically nailing an assertive four-to-the-floor pattern onto the foundation and bringing the rave-referencing highlights into full view.
