2023 marked the re-emergence of Anoesis following a 20-year hiatus. A highly respected producer across the 90's, specializing in interstellar IDM and electronica, Howard Dodd rose from his stasis to release two new albums alongside a five-track EP on Cyphon Recordings last year. A bold statement and stake in the ground showcasing that Dodd's production prowess has not faltered in that time, but has rather taken on a fresh vitality in this new chapter. The 'Metacognition' EP exudes Dodd's distinctive style. A master at making tracks that sound like they were created in an extraterrestrial laboratory, fed by long lost tapes of Detroit techno from 'Planet Earth'. 'Vision Off' opens the EP. Subaquatic rumblings with precision drum programming that dials from reverberating kicks to crunched claps. Trembling basslines and hypnotizing synths entice you to the depths, as arps trickle to the top disorientating your brain.'Do Don't Don't Do' and 'Polybius' follow. The former, a spiraling, off-kilter web of interlocking synthesis, that's both dizzying and harmonizing in the same breath. The latter a dubbed-out, minimal house groover packed with tactile basslines, dusty drum loops and echoed vocal samples. Take to 'New Style of Life' for a transfixing dose of twisted Martian music, guaranteed to cause a stir. Warped electro meets cybertronic electronica with a techno edge. 'Voxelle' then closes out the EP. A soul-rousing cut of euphoric deep house. Stargazed, sunrise hazed, it's a track that can be deployed anytime, anywhere and is sure to leave a lasting mark. Layers of luscious pads and celestial strings topped with an infectious synth line that will suspend you weightlessly in a bubble of worry-banishing brilliance.Active in an age where talent, diligence and taste meant more than social media traction and algorithmic obedience, Dodd's versatility and class have clearly never waned since those early days. If anything, the 'Metacognition' EP shows it is as strong as it has ever been.Tracklisting:A1. Vision OffA2. Do Don't Don't DoA3. PolybiusB1. New Style of LifeB2. Voxelle
