Self-described as "gnom 'n' bass," it is not far-fetched to see Loto Retina as some fantastical creature who just happened to wander into this mortal realm. Their high-fructose music blends micro-sample chaos, gloopy bass and unpredictable percussion to create a congregation of organic and mechanical sounds. While digital to the point of sometimes sounding like a pleasantly malfunctioning robot, it too holds an animistic and feral quality: this is music that growls as much as it grooves.
A VERY 303 ACT, Loto Retina performs across a multitude of ensnared sequencers, tangled MIDI-cables, well-worn samplers and battered drum pads to conjure their fantastical world of sound. Engaging to watch, impossible to look away from – Don’t miss this chimeric avant gardener splinky this and sploinky that!
