Another Electronic Musician :: States of Space (n5MD)

Jase Rex ironically named his solo project Another Electronic Musician although a number of critics, including me, have pointed out that he is far from that. Maintaining the finest tradition of n5MD’s signature sound, Rex mixes tracks influenced by classic techno, house and electro and fuses them with his unique brand of ambient, rhythmic experimental electronic music with a dash of glitch work sparingly applied throughout. Rex releases States of Space, his fourth album for the imprint in five years, five if you include 2004’s Decompose on n5MD’s netlabel offshoot En:peg Digital.

Although his influences are recognizable throughout, Rex’s music goes beyond emulation by mixing his own music with his own take on classic electronic styles. Often incorporating flowing synth textures below bassy rhythmic elements, Rex creates a sound that features both absorbing ambience and enjoyable rhythms at the same time. At times, he explores the atmospheric direction of his music more; "Treading" is based around dark creeping synth textures with shifting bass, a tense piano key chiming like a heartbeat all combining to heighten the senses and create a tense immersive soundtrack. Album closer, "Venatici," on the other hand floods the senses with a distorted crescendo of synth waves oblivious to the throb of warning tone synths as undulating waves of texture rise and fall around it until they drown it out almost completely.

The mood of Rex’s music is generally upbeat, switching between styles from track to track but maintaining consistency through interpreting them in his own style. Always able to spot a good rhythm and loop, Rex produces another in a long run of consistently high quality releases for n5MD. [Paul Lloyd, Igloo Magazine]
