Bobby Dowell has a sound that’s both dark and human. With releases on Droid, Soma, Slap Jaxx, and elsewhere he’s developed an approach that keeps thing moody and moving at the same time. His recent work as Pinion, including a release for Per Trax, adopts an industrial edge, taking the classic feel of screeching materials in heavy friction and driving it with the rhythms of contemporary techno.
His mix for D-Node as Pinion takes a walk down that industrial plank, mixing the raw, moving techno of Shed and Truncate with Nine Inch Nails, sonic explorer Mika Vainio, the sounds of Perc, and some of his own pieces as Pinion. Full tracklist below.
