Non-stop. Unexpected. A collaboration between Aussie great Eugene Carchesio and UK drummer extraordinaire Adam Betts wasn’t on my 2023 Bingo card, but “M” shows that it’s a stellar match. Carchesio’s minimalist, hypnotic aural patterns are pulled into subterranean orbit by Betts’ frenetic rhythms. There’s a relentlessness, as though every bar and sonic texture is being gloriously force-fed through filtered mechanics into our skulls. It’s dizzying and emphatic, heightened by the upside-down visuals in the video. I can’t get enough of the interplay between Carchesio’s subtle electronic movements and Betts’s unyielding cascades, and each subsequent listen ingrains it further in my core.
