New Zealand-reared, now Melbourne, Australia-based producer Mark Wundercastle is next up on the fast-growing—and pleasantly unpredictable—1080p label. Pulled from his upcoming Cell EP is “AC,” a seven-minute jaunt across percussive drum-machine patterns, where tuned kicks meet sweeping synth chords and airy, cyclical melodies. From this simple combination of components, Wundercastle is able to build a hypnotic production, one which frequently relies on the entrancing pulse of its drum programming to lull the listener further into its sonic world. In addition to “AC,” Wundercastle’s Cell EP promises to offer six more “extremely heavy tracks tinged by early ’00s futurist vibes” when it officially drops in both cassette and digital form on n August 19.
