Joris Kamma is a Dutch-born DJ and producer who currently resides in Seattle. Producing music under the moniker Phaedrus, he is currently readying his Game Of Tones EP for release on August 17th via Medical Records‘ techno-based imprint Transfusions. “Violet Dwarf Star” is a B-side cut and our first listen in on the upcoming 12″.
A galloping kick drum leads the way here while simmering rhythmic elements fill out the track’s driving groove. Kamma’s drum palette combines the eerily familiar with more unusual sounds as hand-claps turned inside out play off the glint of metal-on-flint and a Geiger counter ticking out of control. Meanwhile, the producer keeps things minimal as a dry bass tone echoes thru the mix and robotic bleats gurgle to the surface.
