Recorded in New England during a harsh winter, DJ Richard's Path Of Ruin EP on Dial arrives as a record entirely shaped by its conditions — cold, introverted and carrying the ennui and distorted DIY attitude that has become the White Material co-founder's true signature. Three tracks that borrow the sex appeal of solid house music and contrast it with heavier textures, darker melodies and a sense of emotional exposure that few producers in this territory manage with such quiet conviction. Last ever copies.
Path Of Ruin (Pain Mix) opens with a meandering melody grounded by thick, steady drums — like a slow stroll across a barren landscape, the track gradually disclosing a lush interior of emotion as it moves. Gargoyle and Stygian Freeze carry the flip deeper still, the titles doing exactly what they promise — stone-cold, heavy and shot through with the particular melancholy of a harsh New England winter translated into club music. A record for when it's cold outside, and one that sounds equally devastating in either season.
