From veteran producer Tom Hades, comes his alias Sigvard, a project driving perfectly crafted techno in a diverse range of moods and tones. On his latest output ‘The Flowers Hundred’, an ever-evolving style is nurtured through expressive use of hardware, complex structures and a focused energy. Released on Marco Bailey’s eclectic MATERIA imprint which continues to be a worldwide summit for cutting edge techno producers. Sigvard delivers club-ready, experimental dance music that is uncovered across fifteen delicately crafted tracks with soundscapes of ambient and noise glowering above. The foundation of all tracks is married with an artists desire to create, combine and discover. Many classical 90s electronic tropes are covered across the album; elements of trance on the spiraling ‘Attitudes’ and the hard-hitting ‘Judgement From An Idiot’, layer by layer built into an emotive and organic spectre for the ears. Pulsing and unstoppable rhythms are mixed into each track with psychedelic synth lines on ‘Rendezvous’ and ‘Preaching Eyes’ creating a disorientating and beautiful atmosphere. The slow burner ‘Bonds Have Respect’ pays homage to Boards of Canada esque 90’s ambient, combined with a steady percussion and a glowing energy, whilst ‘Nightlife Miracles’ is a steadfast track with an unstoppable pulse and a trippy synth line. Final Selection is a bold and passionate release celebrating Hade’s inspirations and innovations, a standout techno emblem.
