With a clout that sees him gigging relentlessly and garnering plenty of support in the press, it's mad to think that Suren Seneviratne is still in the early stages of his career with just a smattering of releases behind him. His long player "Tape Tekkno" for Italian label Gang of Ducks gives the perfect opportunity to get a handle on the idiosyncratic sound the London-based producer conjures up. There is a plentiful amount of analogue warmth about the loose-fit beats the charismatic artist whips up, capturing some of that otherworldly magic that made Flying Lotus such a hit outside of the niche beat scene that gave rise to him. There's a 4/4 pulse to many of the tracks, but the rhythm and tempo come secondary to the plush layers of synth and texture in this technicolour tapestry of living, breathing electronica.
