Two major production forces hailing from international waters, Tokyo-based duo HERBALISTEK and solo authority Allen Mock have emphatically captured the attention of listeners worldwide. Putting to rest an impeccable debut year of collaborations and accolades, such as collaborative release ‘Okami’ with Oski via Quality Goods Records or the conjoint effort in ‘Premonition,’ which have only aided the future trajectory and creative potential between the two parties.
Making an entrance into the new decade with urgency, Allen Mock and HERBALISTEK connect for a two-part collaborative project, which truly depicts the sonic range and production diversity that each brings to the table. A stripped-down dystopian soundscape presents an ominous introduction to ‘Frenetic’ before a tumultuous mixdown unleashes a fury of deep bass plunges and incisive drum fills. In contrast, ‘Tectonic’ opens with cinematic supremacy, utilizing triumphant horns and mesmerizing synths to create an immense sense of anticipation before diving headfirst into a spiral of wildly vacillating bass, speckled with a delectable sonorous synth melody.
Needless to say, 2020 is shaping up to be an outstanding year for Tokyo-natives Allen Mock and HERBALISTEK. Be sure to keep it locked and check out the two-track collaborative EP from the two below!
