For the debut of New York’s anticipated Purple Trax label, a new formation of key players in Brooklyn’s underground debuts with an EP sure to entrance fans of L.I.E.S., White Material, and other established NYC labels. Composed of Terekke, local DJ/producer Jan Woo, and Erez Avissar, label head and founder of the respected Weird Magic parties, Wabi Sabi’s dusky and diverse sound comes from its origin in loft jams, but tracks like the closing ‘Rx’ with its powerful dub techno framework show the work of seasoned talents. Patricia’s cameo on ‘Casper’ is the record’s strangest sound, a propulsive house groove with explosions of crackling texture and a bassline deeply buried in fog, while ‘Babi’ stutters along between the drum pulse and its disappearances into deep wells of delayed vocal samples and gentle melodies. Vibes are saved for the opener ‘Moon River Membrane’, where Terreke’s characteristic cosmic haze comes out more heavily, complemented by the genre-bending psychedelic tendencies of Avissar’s programming and Woo’s weighty low-end.
