Vladislav Delay – Ripatti03 – 12 Vinyl

Following on from his debut release as Ripatti, and a complex riddim trip in collaboration with Max Loderbauer (NSI., Sun Electric, MvO Trio) as Heisenberg, Sasu Ripatti returns with his third release for the label, his first as Vladislav Delay. “5” is complex and unforgiving, an intense percussive tangle that takes the dub essence of so many classic Vladislav Delay productions and re-assembles them into a frazzled steppers-riddim at double speed. “22” opens with more immediately familiar Delay markers, a dub bass-line lures you in before once again re-configuring the template with a jittery percussive tangle that runs amok.
