Paul Ryan’s beat-driven electronic music under the Nothing Phase alias is at a new level of exploration on ‘Gain Two’. Still characterized by its live feel, unrelenting four-on-the-floor kicks, and hardware-only set up, this chapter of Nothing Phase leans more into noise, a chaotic use of the stereo field, and a melodic sensibility that can best be described as “unwell.” The atmospheres are hypnotic and foreboding, and frequencies vibrate like aggressive insects that you only hear after they’ve stung. Out now on Unifactor.
