For his long-overdue Fact mix Pariah chasesafter a jaw-swinging, grin-inducing, eyelid-fluttering ambiance that varies inbetween sparseness and strength, depth and release.
Arthur Cayzer hasactually been appearing in the pages of Fact for over years. We were there method back in 2010 when “promising UK manufacturer Pariah” initially started turning heads with ‘Detroit Falls’ and Safehouses, picking the then 22-year-old manufacturer’s brains about his love of Burial, following him as he and Blawan signedupwith forces as Karenn a year lateron and onwards to cooperations with The Analogue Cops and Midland. In more current history, following the 2018 release of Cayzer’s stunning launching album, Here From Where We Are, he co-founded the unmatched Voam, which went on to home Karenn’s launching album, Grapefruit Regret, as well necessary records from some of the finest and brightest, both developed and increasing, consistingof Peder Mannerfelt, Regina Leather, Piska Power and SSTROM. Consistently operating in sonic areas both visceral and speculative, throughout his profession Pariah has served as a welcome bridge inbetween the weirder and the more fist-pump friendly sides of the dancefloor, all the while finding time to make completestranger adventures into more reflective area. It oughtto forthatreason make overall sense that Cayzer’s long-overdue Fact mix, which moves through club detonators past and present, goesafter a jaw-swinging, grin-inducing, eyelid-fluttering ambiance that changes inbetween sparseness and strength, depth and release.
It chooses up where Caterpillar, his veryfirst solo EP in a years, leaves off, a three-track barrage of throbbing techno, skittering electro and shuffling breaks with a title track boasting the most anthemic bass borborygmus of current memory, or, in the words of fellow summer anthem maker and current Fact mixer Gramrcy, “the track that sounds how pingers feel.” Jumping straight into the deep and lethal with heady twists and turns from Burnt Friedman, Barker and K Wata, Cayzer wastes no time locking in action with worried avoid from Cari Lekebusch, proggy squelch from Etienne and current heat from Pangea, diving muchdeeper still with a high pressure drum journey from Sam Goku, Drexciyan mischief from Kanyon and rainbowlike burbles from Wata Igarashi. Skream lets one loose from the vaults, sendingout up the signal for a hell for leather charge through tiredout nuclear disaster buzz from Enayet, a sneak peek at Rhyw’s brand-new one for Voam, the wigged out braindance gymnastics of Lurka and Bruce’s inaugural transmission as XRA and the ambient spiral of Ko-Ta. It’s a mix for the heads in the thick of celebration season, serving as a prompt suggestion of all the guarantees Pariah has kept.
