Distinctive sounds heard from Tbilisi, Georgia, where producer/mixed media artist Aghnie has willed a world of chrome plated eco-rave into hiccuping existence. “Club Envy EP” - released on a 55 tape run by Prague label Genot Centre - pairs odd-o beats with little sprigs and zaps of synths and samples, an ecosystem simulation you can move to. “Narcc” announces itself in plunging rhythms and approximate flutes, pauses to gather rain, and spills it out on a complex mainframe, initiating self-repair. If that seems needlessly vague, maybe the label put it best, offering that “these tunes might be envisioned as ringtones emanating from an alien greenhouse covered in luminous tribal patterns.”
