Vol. 2

by Topdown Dialectic

supported by

nadronnoco Another disc of interdimensional beats. Favorite track: B2.

Benny Flex More Topdown Dialectic and it's just as good. Favorite track: A1.

Vincent Giard Rendu là, la musique peut très bien se débrouiller sans nous. Favorite track: A1.

j.parker One of the best releases for a long long time .

Hadrien H Mesmerizing record. It feels like it comes from a distant past that never existed, with a unique sound that defies categorisation other than "weird dub techno", which is not enough to describe how beautiful and fascinating the music is.

Extralife Like the bastard child of Vladislav Delay and Convextion. Super detailed + super lush loops.

about

Sophomore set of illusory software installations by undisclosed North American technologist Topdown Dialectic, sourced from the same vault as 2018’s celebrated self-titled LP. Like its predecessor, Vol. 2 is composed of eight identical-length tracks, each a system capture composite of fractured rhythm, granular texture, and elusive energy, blurring surface and depth into a fresh electronic dialect of hypermodern mirage.

It’s a music both evasive and emotive, ephemeral but eternal, like fiber optic whispers from deep in some decaying mainframe, or the hauntological nostalgia of artificial intelligence yet to be invented. Vol. 2 ventures beyond techno abstraction or standard synthetic ambience into a depopulated soundworld of morphing corridors and flickering fluorescence, equal parts escape and unbecoming.
