Hotflush alumnus Sigha has long been one of the UK's premier exponents of dark and gothic techno, developing a signature style that puts pitch-black textures and paranoid atmospherics at the heart of the action. Metabolism is the producer's long-awaited second album, and his first since joining the Token label back in 2015. The 12-track set continues in a similar vein to his previous releases, serving up moody, club-ready cuts that veer from the deep and intricate to the intense and forthright, via the kind of clandestine, otherworldly fare that's deliciously difficult to pigeonhole. Predictably, it's a formula that guarantees consistently impressive results.

A foray into deep, organic, cinematic dance music. Subterranean bass, intercepted alien transmissions, and stripped down dance-beats meld with sheets of sounds that roll over the listener like waves lapping up on the shore. Shimmering, watery, brain hemisphere synchronization tones caress and melt stress away. Dance floor friendly tracks that work equally well in one’s private listening space
