Powell returns to the fray with New Beta Vol. 1 — seven upfront and disarmingly colorful tracks that harness a renewed energy following the intense period of production behind his densely packed debut LP, Sport (2016). Thanks, perhaps, to a looser approach and influx of new ideas and machines, the results find him at his most playfully experimental and nuanced, revealing new aspects to his mongrel sound not heard in previous releases. New Beta Vol. 1 will remind you of what made Powell's music so exciting in the first place — goofy, unhinged sounds sculpted into hard-to-resist and unpredictable arrangements — but in a brighter rush of clashing tones and splintering rhythms that reinforce his roots in jungle/DNB, wave, and early Belgian techno. The result is something comparable to a puckish take on AFX's mutant Analord releases or Actress's discrete circuits.
