Pyramid Club is a duo that joins CGI Records‘ label head Matthew Weiner and his DKA Records partner Christopher Daresta in a music project that takes its’ name from the “venue which helped define the counter-culture and queer sound of lower Manhattan in the late 70�s.” The two also play solo as T.W.I.N.S. and Anticipation, respectively, but as Pyramid Club they explore the industrial regions of proto-techno via a vocally-driven electronic set-up.
Today we listen to “Cyclic Obsession“, the title track from the duo’s upcoming EP due out April 24th via the Berlin-based label Unknown Precept. Ripped, muscular basslines define this cut’s hard edge with the help of a 4/4 kick that hits you square in the chest. Before long deconstructed claps echo in a rubbery pendulum motion while mysterious vocal elements emit in undecipherable clouds of sulfur. The bass throbs are thick throughout while a host of analog synth sounds are thrown at the wall to see what sticks!
