Defce: Surface Tension – VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. 2014debut album by electronic music sensation Defce. Singlehandedly defining a new genre of electronic music – Drumcode – SURFACE TENSION is an audio film of the most delectable order. A partnership between de Qualia and the graphic artist SHVLFCE, the Defce sound is a regenerative dismantling of techno, drum ‘n’ bass, and industrial musics, wound together to form the new genre called drumcode. Tempos running at 185 BPM+ with a steady pulse of kick drum in the center, scattershot percussion, and heartrending pad melodies are the critical elements comprising this new sound. They are backed by a spectacular live performance that has seen them in venues as disparate as Berlin’s Burn the Machine Festival and Brooklyn’s Saint Vitus.
