Spanish electronic artist Juan Rico (Reeko) usually operates in the sphere of textural, forward thinking techno music. Active since 1997, releasing on a plethora of well respected record labels, Reeko’s approach to sound design peaks among a sea of ever growing producers. Over the last 5 years I’ve really taken an interest in his take on breakbeat/DnB under the Samurai Records label. Known for their innovative approach to breakbeat, Reeko here the on Confront The Serpent track (and Ep) delivers a deep listening experience that feels organic in its growth. The gradual but steady developing percussive elements and morphing bass design creates an atmosphere and distinct timbre not always present in modern Drum and Bass. There are a range of emotions and a use of space in this track that creating a feeling of unpredictability.
