Comment: 6SISS is the nom de plume of Peter Adriaenssens, a Belgian artist whose 6-track issue is the follow-up to his Untitled release under Ledebronx in 2014. More profoundly, it is an example of wondrous sonic alchemy where topmost lush ambient-drenched layers are tightly blended with dub-induced, slightly `lazy` rhythmic patterns and reverb-heavy semi-paces beneath. However, Adriaenssens is not an orthodox musician who would like to confine himself into the borders of a definitive genre. He is a nature who prefers to go across different sonic territories – from immersive noise-soaked compositions and horrifying industrial visions to gritty techno and breakbeat-tinged background realms, from quasi-minimalism to glitch-y electronic experiments. In a word, this 6-notch issue can be considered a part of cerebral dance music full of challenging patterns and varicoloured webs whose relatives are Joel Tammik, and Tim Hecker. Keep tab on the artist.
