about

Delsin welcomes Jayson Wynters into the fold for a four-track EP that embodies techno as a vibrant, expressive artform with the ability to uplift. The Birmingham-based producer’s sound champions impulse and feeling over perfectionism. He’s not afraid to push the synths into the red and get some dirt on the drums, conjuring up a feeling more akin to the grit and grime of real life than sterile, perfectionist production.

Wynters has already slipped out releases on Don’t Be Afraid, Phoenix G and Ornate Music, erring towards deeper strains of hardware-oriented house and techno but also displaying an instinct for broader tempos and rhythms. He’s got the vocabulary to rush at 140 and break up the beats as much as lock into a steady, heady roller.

On The Affect Heuristic, Wynters strides forth with his electrifying machine language which calls to mind the feverish, psychedelic tweaking and layering of visionaries like Dan Curtin and Lee Purkis (In Sync). The style shifts from track to track, leading with the cascading arps and rowdy leads of ‘Trace Minerals’ before swerving towards the springy electro-techno of ‘The Hunted’. ‘Crypto’ plots a darker, faster course into a vivid soundchasm sculpted out of low-passed impulses and spectral synth shapes. ‘Tehutis Law’ brings a distinct Motor City funk, loaded with wiggling accents to the groove from the bottom end right up to the high frequencies.

Wynters’ touch is highly developed, cast in technicolour, and it sounds incredibly rich in your ear, but it’s the rawness of the feeling which makes this an important addition to the long and winding legacy of techno music. The artwork – a canny meld of bold geometry, bright colours and rough textures from Jeroen Erosie (3024), Erris Huigens (Graphic Surgery) and Tijl Schneider – responds to the music in a wholly appropriate way. In a field littered with polished, monochrome clones, it’s artists like Wynters that truly shine.

Simply superb construction - kind of post-Zooloft, post-Prologue innovation - would love a full album exploring this path further. caustic widow
