Surfing is a somewhat deceiving title for NYC producer Peter Segerstrom’s new project. Also known to operate as Portable Sunsets, Segerstrom’s upcoming LP for 1080p sees him crafting tracks akin to “a claustrophobic slow motion drag through the inside of a drum machine, where echos of Dancemania, Thomas Brinkmann, DJ Assault, DNA, Early Steve Reich tape pieces, Glossolalia, DJ Funk, and science fiction vibes ring out,” according to the label’s press release. Pulled from Surfing’s self-titled record, “Warlock” embodies that description; built atop a static-lined base of thick kicks and sturdy snares, the tune loops its titular phrase over and over before eventually teasing a bouncing synth sequence out from behind the production’s full-bodied rhythms. In other words, Surfing’s track has absolutely nothing to do with the beach. “Warlock” can be grabbed below before Segerstrom’s full Surfing album drops in cassette and digital form via 1080p on April 7.
