about

Canadian producer Tomas Jirku has built a sterling catalog by not doing anything straightforward or ordinary. He burst into the electronic underground’s consciousness in 2000 with his debut LP, Sequins (on Germany’s revered Force Inc. label), a minimal-techno classic, abounding with bizarre, piquant textures and fascinating glitch accents, while keeping a prominent 4/4 thump for your rump. He revealed other facets on Bleak 1999 (No Type), which displays Jirku’s more somber, meditative side, verging on Arctic ambience in spots and also deftly weaving in abstract rhythms through the tenebrous atmospheres.

Recent years have seen Jirku exploring his dubbier inclinations more thoroughly. But with The Event Horizon EP, he’s edging into a vital vein of electro. “Power Block (With The Automatic Message)” is a menacing hybrid of techno and electro, traversing a bumpy path toward visions of futuristic industrial ruins. It’s a bracing, rhythmically choppy soundtrack to a civilization going awry. “Digitally Dextrous” harks back to the thrillingly twisted and enigmatic electro that used to come out on Miami’s Schematic label (Phoenecia, Push Button Objects, etc.). It’s a viciously torqued funk workout and a serious mind/body fuck. On “Event Horizon,” gunmetal gray Autechresque IDM ramrods through your headspace with staccato, brutal kicks, metallic percussive ripples, regimented 303 twangs, and what could be delayed and reversed woodblocks. The title of “Deep Space House” is a self-fulfilling prophecy: It’s a funky, Model 500-like excursion, its asteroidal synth washes swirling amid punchy funk beats, creating a dazzling disorientation.

The Event Horizon represents another peak in Jirku’s brilliant discography and proves he’s not content to simply repeat past glories.
