ORTEM 006 - 'Vector Files' EP - Metro *OUT NOW*

Ortem 006 is the mysteriously titled 'Vector Files'.

The 'File' contains 5 tracks that are bleep inspired or touched by the hand of rave and days gone by. 'Bleep Space' launchesinto a trippy trajectory as it evokes a sound from early Warp and orbits off into another galaxy, pulling in space debris and appealing to alien life forms. It gathers momentum and encapsulates a Reese bass, a 2 step shuffle and a call and response from the aliens radio.

The title track takes the baton and runs with it. Proceedings notch up to hyper speed as a rolling acid inspired bass line, boom bap beat, amen chops, arpeggios all fire off as the Halle Bop comet comes into view via some remote viewing. The energy created by the track could catapult a man to Venus.

'Other Side' is Hoovers and Spray cans for '17 and as paint fumes fill the room it takes over with more Strange acid rumblings, 2 steps and Graf vox.

'Atom Smasher' smashes atoms into fragments and as protons, neutrons and electrons fly around, a rasping bass weaves in between acid notes and big claps.

'Rave Stab' starts off Vampy with Mentasm hints underpinned by a solid kick drum sending you back down Jenkins Memory Lane. Big bass and Incredible bongos make a brief but infectious appearance.

"This is an amazing release, the whole things pretty wild. Its like going to a rave on an upper and a downer at the same time. It's fast, it's slow, it's old and it's new. It's a very good EP that really shows something interesting and fresh for this scene, which Ortem has well and truly delivered." - Tony Justice.

They say the music you listen to in your teens stays with you forever.

In the late 80's and early 90's 3times went clubbing & raving and some noises were logged.

The result of these experiences have been through a lengthy process of retrieval and the influences taken from those halcyon days recalled, encoded and compiled in this the Memory Bank.

...............................................................................................................

Willow is the only national charity working with seriously ill young adults aged 16 to 40 to fulfil uplifting and unforgettable Special Days.

Since 1999 Willow has fulfilled more than 13,000 Special Days for young adults living with life-threatening conditions such as cancer, motor neurone disease, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy and Huntington’s disease.

For some their Special Day is the opportunity to return some normality to their lives. For others it is the last chance to fulfil a dream. But for all, at what is the most difficult of times, a Special Day can lift spirits, reunify families and be a source of strength when it’s needed most.

Founded by former Arsenal goalkeeper and TV presenter, Bob Wilson and his wife Megs, Willow is a lasting memorial to their daughter, Anna, who died of cancer aged 31. Anna’s love of life and the enriching experiences of her own Special Days were the charity’s inspiration.
