Snakedressed (COP Int’l)

Some of these electro-industrial tracks from Belgian-born Dirk Ivens (ex-Klinik) and Ivan Iusco (ex-Nightmare Lodge) are easily accessible to the listener, and therefore, boring. Others (like “Growing Deep Inside,” “Machine Gun Baby”) have lopsided beats and ultra-tweaked synth lines that throw off expectations, and urge you to listen closer.
