Artist: Aesthete
Title: Obfuscation
Label: Computer Club
CAT#: disk06
Computer Club presents; Aesthete (aka Thom Barnett) with his début release ‘Obfuscation’. A 4 track EP of bass-heavy minimalism.
Micro-precise
percussion bursting through minimal electronics with chattering
industrial machines, the 4 tracks take an experimental approach directly
to the dance floor. We first encountered the unique Aesthete sound in a
dark former ballroom in Sheffield in early 2016 and were mesmerised by
his sonic assault.
As the name suggests, Barnett’s skill isn’t
confined to audio. A talented designer, he runs Mamnick, an
internationally renowned brand sold online and via outlets including a
flagship store in Tokyo. Mamnick clothes and items blend Sheffield
craftsmanship with a love of cycling and a sharp aesthetic eye.
Everything Barnett turns his attention to is expertly crafted and this debut EP on Computer Club is no exception.
