Everybody Dies, Even Horses

You’ve got admire Cork producer Bren Gregoriy’s initiative: instead of trying to hawk his work to a label, he set up his own imprint to release his debut album, with the result that his individualistic take on electronic music gets an audience. Fusing deep techno with breaks and electro, Bren adds some lo-fi rock flavours on the nocturnal slow motion beats of ‘Empire’, the grinding ‘Chamber Zen’ outdoes the electro house brigade with its raw sex appeal, while the bubbling melodies of the title track recall classic Orbital material. If the rest of the world tunes in, Chymera could easily become Ireland’s first electronic producer to hit the big time.
