Signalling from the North of England, newcomer Rian Treanor re-imagines the intersection of club culture, experimental art and computer music, presenting an insightful and compelling musical world of interlocking and fractured components.

His debut EP ‘A Rational Tangle’ is a hyper-funky twyst on fwd UK dance music, a quartet of glass-cut, 150bpm hyper prisms released by The Death of Rave. It galvanises and accelerates garage and techno with cuttingly crisp tonal diction and a pointillist percussive palette, demonstrating Treanor’s adroit rhythmelodic instincts through a quicksilver syntax of kerned, polychromatic 2-step patterns and whipsmart, emotive jit music.

Whichever angle you view it from, ‘A Rational Tangle’ forms a rewarding introduction to the work of a very promising and distinct new voice in electronic music.

His ping-pong ballistic live performances dance from pendulous, aerobic minimalism to taut grooves with grid melting nous, yet at the same time its all blessed with a pop or ‘floor-ready” turn of phrase that takes new kinks, fills and twysts with each listen.
