Toru – Rescue At SW4

‘TTT grip Reckless Records don and record collecting heavyweight Toru Yoneyama on a mad cosmic noise mission sparked off with bony dancehall and mutant tekno-electro pulses – think Conrad Schnitzler meets Jeff Mills at Heinrich Mueller’s lab afterhours, it’s that wild.

The 92 minute ‘Rescue at SW4’ is among the best of TTT’s already deadly run of ’25 so far. Toru’s eight trax take all the time needed – nearly up to 20′, and more often at least 10′ – to work out unpredictable permutations of spiny machine rhythm and rudely activated arp leads that seem to have a jazz-noise-tekno mind of their own.

An ideal case in point is the opening passage ‘052 T.HOLE’, which spends the first 10 mins coaxing analog machines to sputter like a Schnitzler-meets-Dilloway jam, overeasy on the curdled chromatic distortion, before crystallising into a gnashing dancehall and Kongo tekno drum pattern whilst the synth wheezes psychoactive spumes. The transition is as effective and it is unexpected, and sets the tone for a class session of strangely sidewinding treats.

‘BITT 35ER’ stays in the longform lane with a more direct, if wobbly, traction from the offing, recalling some noisy Drexciyan probe and Mills’ offbeat jazz-techno treks, whilst a pair of acrid palate cleansers set off a 2nd half encompassing pulsating, kosmiche dub techno noise in ‘SPKXXX042’, to Ra-esque wormholer ‘254222 BC’ resolving in coiled acid tekno, and the stewed 303 gunk of ‘052 T.HOLE (048 bottoms)’.’ (Boomkat, June 2025)

“TTT bossman Will Bankhead back on his What We steez for a particularly mood-driven, 80 minute session of padded blue hour atmospheres – his 5th and most enchanting entry in this mode.

Nigh-on beatless for the majority, ‘Slats’ finds Bankhead taking the mantle of liminal sandman with a reliably engrossing drift that pointedly keeps it on course to blissed-out states.

Where previous mixes have traversed everything from jazz to Japanese noise and offbeat techno, this one plucks from a range of late night spells – Americana, drone, Finnish isolationism, microtonal minimalism, sludge rock, chamber folk – all simpatico to drowsy, blissed states of being.”
