Rivet - Bear Bible - Kontra Music

Since emerging on Frozen Border offshoot Naked Index back in 2011, Rivet has become a name synonymous with the current wave of Swedish techno, gracing the Skudge Presents label with two fine 12"s, remixing Tyler Friedman, Dungeon Acid and Ben Sims, and generally demonstrating a capacity to produce both the merciless and the offbeat. His return to Kontra-Musik sees a continuation of the sound showcased on his Driftwood release for Skudge Presents last November, and is so titled because it highlights the plight suffered by some 20,000 bears in captivity who are daily tapped for their gall. Skewed vocals characterise the release throughout, the three parts, whose house-inspired synth textures are some of the meatiest work yet from the Swede.
