False Witness joins NYC artist Elle Dee on her newly launched Mild Fantasy imprint, with a dark techno release entitled ‘Underneath’.
Over the last decade, Brazilian-born DJ/producer Elle Dee has cut her teeth at New York venues such as Output and Good Room, while hosting a show on The Lot Radio, not to mention helming her Mild Fantasy event series. The multifaceted artist now teams up with fellow New York grown and GHE20G0TH1K affiliate False Witness, known for releases on E-Missions, Bastard Brigade and Lit City Trax, for a collaborative debut as Mild Fantasy evolves into a label.
First up is two collaborative tracks from the pair opening with ‘Underneath’, featuring cantering hats, a pulsing bassline and saturated claps, before ‘The Void’ whistles with high synths, thundering kicks and sweeping computerised voices.
Both producers then go solo, beginning with ‘Where She Hides’ from Dee, which shakes with rapid cymbals, distorted percussion and harrowing echoes. Finally, False Witness’s ‘Past, Present, Future’ slingshots the aural journey into otherworldly territories with decaying claves, shimmering hi-hats and solid sub-frequencies.
